Personal protective equipment for your workplace
Employers are required, by law, to ensure that employees are protected from health and safety risks, every activity carried out by employees should have a risk assessment carried out and if this assessment identifies potential hazards after safe systems and controls have been initiated, then PPE (personal protective equipment) must be provided, free of charge, to affected workers.
The Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations 1992 place duties on employers to ensure that PPE is:
- properly assessed before use to make sure it is fit for purpose
- maintained and stored properly
- provided with instructions on how to use it safely
- used correctly by workers
Employers must ensure workers have sufficient information, instruction and training on PPE use.
The range of PPE provided by ESE Direct Ltd provides protection against the following hazards:
- breathing in dust, mist, gas or fume
- falling materials hitting people
- flying particles or splashes of corrosive liquids getting into people’s eyes
- skin contact with corrosive materials
- excessive noise
- extremes of heat or cold
