INTRODUCTION
Your assessment of occupational risks, and in particular the chemical risk within your organization, has led you to propose protective and preventive measures to control and reduce the risks to your employees. One of these solutions is the use of PPE. There is a wide range of PPE available, but there are no regulations prescribing the type of PPE to be used for a given task or occupation. The choice of PPE will therefore depend on a sound risk assessment.
This step-by-step guide will help you choose, use and maintain the PPE that is or will be installed in your company. It enables you to take stock of best practices by answering the following questions:
Why don't employees wear the PPE provided?
How can employees be involved in PPE selection?
How to maintain and manage the PPE supplied?
