SEC. 3. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds that—
(1) the absence of uniform warnings for per-
sonal protective equipment for occupational use risks
causes confusion among employers and their employ-
ees concerning the proper use and limitations of
such equipment and increases worker exposure to
workplace injuries and illnesses from lack of proper
worker training and consequent misuse of such
equipment; and
(2) the absence of Federal standards specifying
warnings for personal protective equipment for occu-
pational uses leaves questions as to the adequacy of
such warnings to be determined by different and fre-
quently inconsistent State requirements, prohibi-
tions, and court decisions, placing an undue burden
on interstate commerce in such equipment.

ployer and employee understanding of the proper use
and limits of personal protective equipment for occu-
