About this document
Understanding Personal Protective Equipment by Tomislav Panov is a document available to read on EtoBox.
PPE stands for personal protective equipment. It is legally defined as equipment worn to protect health and safety at work. Examples include safety helmets, gloves, and high-visibility clothing. PPE is considered a last resort and only appropriate if risks cannot be eliminated or reduced by other means. PPE protects only the individual user, whereas other risk controls can protect everyone. Employers have a legal duty to provide suitable PPE and ensure it is properly used.
