The effectiveness of the PPE program will be monitored by the inspection of the equipment and the auditing of the procedures periodically to review, update, evaluate and access the effectiveness of the PPE program (CCOHS, 2016).
Changes in the legislative requirement, new information about the properties of the hazards, and changes in the process itself are circumstances that can invalidate parts of a written program, or render it obsolete (Nims, 1999).
Internal audits will be performed annually, while external audits will be performed every three years for the general review of the program. Critical areas of concern that required immediate action will be reviewed frequently (CCOHS, 2016). When changes in the work process occurs, failure of the PPE reported or introduction of a new PPE, the program will be reviewed.
Auditing of the PPE program can be performed in the following ways:
Auditing of the individual components of the PPE program.
Performing review of the procedures following changes in work processes.
Self-evaluations performed by users of the PPE

The evolution of clothing has been drastically changed through the course of history, from the style to how they’re made. Women and men’s clothing changed at different rates. The way clothes are made reflect the style. Clothing always has been an important aspect of one’s culture as well as a representation of a time period. Overtime clothing has changed just as the people it clothes.
This also coincide with our survey result that the most popular colors are black, marron, and gray. Therefore, we can conclude that the most profitable colors will be black, grey, navy, dark green, and marron. Furthermore, students are trending to wear comfortable clothing to school, therefore the most common top are zip up hoodies, pullover hoodies, sweatshirts, and cardigans. Also, as our researches have shown that students prefer semi-fitted and traditional clothing, so we should design product that are comfortable and easy to mix and match. Therefore, more trended clothing properly is not a good choice. Moreover, in the interview with our AMM professors, we obtain some suggestions such as the units and wholesale price for each style, and the idea that basic styles sell better than fashion forwarded styles. However, there is one conflict. Dr. Sen told us hoodies do not sell well recently, which is opposite to our other interview, survey, and observations results. Therefore, we should find out what is the cause of this problem. Due to the fact that our targeted market are students, who usually have tight budget, our products should be affordable. As team B has found that more students accept T- shirt with a retail price between $15-$25, and
On the twenty-first of August, our Wearable History class took a trip to downtown Bowling Green, to visit Mosaic Confinement Studio. The studio had an old-fashioned vibe, and was like a vintage-garment haven. There, we were asked to choose a piece that we thought was vintage, identify the time period it actually came from, and also take some additional notes on the style and the garment’s details. After searching through multiple racks, the first piece I found was a lace blazer. It turned out to only be vintage-inspired, so I went searching again. I came across a few other pieces, but nothing was really jumping out at me. Eventually, I came across a lavender dress that immediately made me think of Julia Roberts in “Mystic Pizza”, and I knew I found my garment.
Although fashion has an impact on people’s appearances, it has an even bigger impact on people’s lives. Many workers who manufacture clothes, are actually in a copious amount of danger.

It is certain that people are getting more used to wasting products that are still reliable to use and, especially in fashion, not that many people are aware of the concept of sustainability. Although concept of recycling paper, plastic and glass has now spread a cross the states, people still doesn’t know how to recycle or reuse their clothing. “65 pounds of clothing and textiles a year are improperly discarded and only an eight of that goes to charities for reuse [1].” This indicates how unaware people are when it comes to taking care of their garments. Or rather, the way in which fast fashion industry promotes the value of cloth is very low, and it is because the fashion industry wants people to get rid of their clothing as soon as possible in order to sell their new colle...
