PPE can protect against hazards such as cuts from foreign objects, falling from a height, burns from welding equipment, etc. Supplying the correct PPE also protects the business from any potential incidents, and failing to do so could end in legal against being taken against you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who Is Responsible For PPE?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 states that it is the employer&#8217;s general duty of care to ensure the safety of its employees and workplace visitors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 states that employers and self-employed professionals must carry out a risk assessment for all work activities to determine the necessary safety measures to protect people from harm.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As an employer, you must supply and replace PPE free of charge and, where practical, offer a range of PPE, so the worker can choose the best option for their routine and working environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should also provide instruction and training, including refresher courses and demonstrations.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who Is Responsible For Maintaining PPE?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the employer, you are responsible for introducing a system that records the issue of PPE and monitoring it. This includes ensuring the PPE is examined and repaired.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lindstrom provides this service as part of its PPE equipment and workwear rental and laundry solution. Employees are also responsible for reporting the loss or any defect in PPE that they become aware of.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is PPE Mandatory?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employees must use the PPE you provide in the manner directed, in accordance with any instructions or training you give. The worker must return the PPE to its storage place unless otherwise agreed with you. If the staff member refuses to wear PPE, you are entitled to take disciplinary action, including excluding the worker from the workplace.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Types Of PPE Are Available?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The different categories of PPE and the standards that govern them includes:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Respiratory protection<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Head and scalp protection &#8211; BS EN 14052 and BS EN 397<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hand and arm protection &#8211; BS EN 14328 (cut protection from powered knives), BS EN 374 Part 1 (chemicals and microorganisms), BS EN 407 (thermal risk, fire, and heat), BS EN 511 (cold), and BS EN 388 (mechanical hazards)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eye protection &#8211; BS EN 166 and BS 7028<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hearing protection &#8211; BS EN 352 Part 1<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Body protection &#8211; BS EN 471 + A1<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Foot and leg protection &#8211; BS EN ISO 20345 and BS EN ISO 17249:2004<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Height and access protection<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are special requirements for Type 5 coveralls worn by asbestos removal contractors.

This includes spaces where vehicles and pedestrians occupy the same area, factories where machines have unguarded moving parts, worksites with flammable or dangerous chemicals, and where employees work at height.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is It Only Construction And Industrial Workplaces That Require PPE?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wherever safety hazards exist, there is a requirement for PPE including construction and industrial workplaces. Hazards include chemical, physical, workload, ergonomic, and biological hazards. The workplace might, for example, be a warehouse, builder&#8217;s yard, or kitchen and food preparation area. Healthcare workers and frontline staff also use PPE, including face masks, during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How To Ensure You Comply With Regulations<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To ensure you comply with regulations, you can manually check your workwear and equipment against the UK Government&#8217;s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hse.gov.uk\/toolbox\/ppe.htm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Risk at Work Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Toolbox<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
