Why is PPE important?

Making the workplace safe includes providing instructions, procedures,
training and supervision to encourage people to work safely and responsibly.

Even where engineering controls and safe systems of work have been
applied, some hazards might remain. These include injuries to:
 the lungs, eg from breathing in contaminated air
 the head and feet, eg from falling materials
 the eyes, eg from flying particles or splashes of corrosive liquids
 the skin, eg from contact with corrosive materials
 the body, eg from extremes of heat or cold
PPE is needed in these cases to reduce the risk.

Selection and use
When selecting and using PPE:

Choose products which are CE marked in accordance with the Personal
Protective Equipment Regulations 2002

Choose equipment that suits the user – consider the size, fit and weight of the
PPE. If the users help choose it, they will be more likely to use it

If more than one item of PPE is worn at the same time, make sure they can be
used together, eg wearing safety glasses may disturb the seal of a respirator,
causing air leaks

Instruct and train people how to use it, eg train people to remove gloves without
contaminating their skin. Tell them why it is needed, when to use it and what its
limitations are

the job to them
 Check
 If
in doubt, seek further advice from a specialist adviser
