 INTRODUCTION

The provision of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) enables employees to be protected in a specific work situation, in line with the results of a chemical risk assessment.

The adequacy of employee protection to the work situation must also be controlled over time.

  • How can I be sure that the PPE provided is always effective?

  • How can we be sure that PPE always corresponds to the work situation for which it was designed?

Analyzing changes to the initial protection system as they occur, and finding a solution to the change observed, will enable you to maintain employee safety over the long term.

Picto outil Tool

This sheet will help you determine when PPE needs to be changed. The PPE validity certificate (Tool PPE identification, monitoring and fitness-for-use summary table ) associated with this sheet will guide you in this task; the sheets entitled Aménager un poste de travail pour réduire les risques chimiques [FIC 0175] and Choisir de faire utiliser les équipements de protection individuels (EPI) [FIC 0179] will direct you on how to replace the PPE.
