| Personal protective equipment |
Employers have basic duties concerning the provision and use of personal
protective equipment (PPE) at work
What is PPE?
PPE is defined in the Regulations as "all equipment (including clothing affording protection against the weather) which is intended to be worn or held by a person at work and which protects him against one or more risks to his health or safety", eg safety helmets, gloves, eye protection, high-visibility clothing, safety footwear and safety harnesses.
Are you getting best value from your PPE?
Are your workforce equipped correctly, are they working because they are protected or is the protection hampering them and making work more hazardous.
PPE companies will sell you whatever you order, Crossroad Health and Safety will make sure you are working towards reducing risk at source so you only have to order the minimum PPE and the stuff you do order is the right stuff and it will protect and serve you well.
Do you have the right signage?
Do you have the right signage to inform your employees an visitors of the hazards and risk and the right actions to take
Do you have the right signage to ensure you are complying with the law.
Whynot get a Crossroad Safety Consultant to come in and advise. If your doing OK well tell you and if more needs to be done we'll be able to specify exactly what needs to be done and we can provide the correct signage and advise on installation.
