ladder, noise, a keyboard, a bully at work, stress, etc. A risk is the chance, high or

away from your office can be a hazard.

PPE in Your Workplace: Using Personal Protective Equipment to Mitigate Risk &
Promote Workplace Safety
Many workplaces require that their employees make use of PPE (Personal Protective
Equipment.
Why is PPE such a vital component of safety training and workplace safety?
Jobs such as construction, working at heights, working on suspended platforms and
many other roles entail a number of hazards that present risk potential for
your workplace, job site, company and/or organization.
The Many Functions of PPE
Bodily protection – of the face, eyes, ears, head and extremities – is a very
important aspect of using personal protective equipment (PPE).
Any worker should be well aware of the different types of PPE available and required
for his or her work. It is vital that every employee be familiar with how to wear PPE
properly.
There may also be some protective shields and barriers, protective clothing and
respiratory devices, which need to be carefully maintained and inspected to ensure
that they are in good working condition.
PPE Safety Training is thus an essential component of PPE in the workplace. It’s not
enough to have the PPE on hand. It has to be the right kind of PPE; has to be up to
date; and employees must be adequately trained in the proper use of their PPE.
The Different Types of PPE
PPE is really a catch-all for different types of personal protective equipment.
Depending on the nature of the work and the workplace, your team members will
require a variety of PPE.
PPE for the eyes and face
Protecting the eyes, ears and face is a crucial component of workplace safety.
Goggles and face protection are needed when the risk is present for exposure
to flying particles, chemicals, liquids, bright lights, etc.
Eye protection must properly fit the individual or be adjustable
Eye and face protection is in good working condition; if it isn’t, it should
be replaced
Ear protection – e.g. earplugs or noise-reducing ear muffs – must be worn
whilst working in high-noise environments

In addition, workers should be well versed in how to wear their PPE for eyes and
face
PPE for the head
Above the eyes and face, head protection is crucial.
Hard hats must be worn at all times in hazardous areas
Hard hat requirements extend to everyone in these areas, including visitors,
management, et al
You need to ensure that the suspension of the hard hat is in good condition,
consisting of the headband and strapping so that it can effectively absorb
impact
Hard hats plus face protection are two big steps in PPE safety. But there’s one more.
PPE for the feet and hands
Many roles involve risk exposure for feet, legs, arms, hands, digits and more.
Employees need to wear tight fitting foot and hand protection to prevent
hazardous items or substances from damaging hands and feet
Workers must wear metal-free, non-conductive shoes, boots or gloves in
environments with wires or connections
Steel-toed shoes are to be worn in areas where there is no risk of electrical
contact
Staff should wear rubber or synthetic footwear or gloves to work around
chemicals or hazardous liquids
