What is PPE??
» Personal Protective Equipment
Equipment that is worn by an employee to prevent injury or illness from hazards in the workplace.
When you arrive for work you should be aware of any known hazards and you should be aware of what PPE is required for your site. This will support you in keeping you from harm during your activities.
Whilst PPE cannot prevent accident happening it can reduce the risk and trauma sustained if appropriate PPE is worn:
1. Inspect your PPE before using it.
2. Replace any worn or torn PPE.
3. Store your PPE correctly so it will be available for the next use. 4. Keep your PPE clean.
5. Inform your supervisor if there is something wrong with your
PPE or you need further protection.
6. Always wear your PPE if the risk assessment states you should
and follow safe working practises.
7. If you do not have the protection required to undertake a task
contact your line manager immediately.
