A recent study by the British Safety Industry Federation found that many PPE items fail to meet the required safety standards, putting workers at risk. Employers must ensure that PPE is not only suitable, but also properly tested and effective for workplace hazards.
To comply with the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and PPE Regulations 1992, it's essential to conduct thorough risk assessments, research PPE options, and provide adequate training for use. Neglecting these steps could lead to serious safety breaches, increased risks, and financial losses.
