Using PPE
Make sure that:
- personal protective equipment (PPE) is used in accordance with the manufacturers’ instructions
- the PPE fits correctly
- workers are instructed and trained in how to use it
- appropriate signs should be displayed to remind workers where PPE must be worn
Training should cover arrangements for the provision, correct use, storage and maintenance of PPE and should be done:
- when new workers start work
- when you get new PPE
- to refresh workers’ memories from time to time
Remember to keep a record of any training.
