Personal protective equipment plan
Where a risk assessment has identified that PPE is to be used as a control measure, a personal protective equipment plan should be developed. The PPE plan should identify and record:
- reasons for selecting each type of PPE
- medical data such as the results of individual hearing tests prior to and periodically during exposure to noise. This will help evaluate the effectiveness of PPE
- worker training in relation to PPE
- fitting, cleaning, storage and maintenance and replacement requirements
The plan should allow for periodic assessments to ensure the PPE remains effective.
