Be PPE Compliant
Maintaining a fully compliant PPE product range is essential for helping to keep your staff safe. As an employer, you are responsible for providing your employees with the correct, industry approved workwear as well as appropriate training to effectively and safely use relevant PPE.
If you do not provide your staff with appropriate, compliant PPE suitable for their job role, you could be liable for any injury sustained as a result of this. Ensuring all of your workwear is fully compliant with industry regulations will give you and your employees peace of mind.
PPE Regulations
PPE regulations are regularly reviewed by the Health & Safety Executive (HSE). Updated PPE Regulations can be found on the HSE website, as well as useful information on using PPE to control risks at work. It is important to keep up with regulations to ensure that you are fulfilling your legal duties as an employer to protect your staff where there are health and safety risks.
