Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about selecting, correctly using, and maintaining PPE.
The use of PPE is mandatory when there is a health or safety risk in the work environment (e.g., mechanical, chemical, thermal, or electrical hazards) that cannot be fully eliminated or neutralized by other collective protection methods.
In accordance with current labor safety legislation, the employer is obliged to:
Assess risks in the work environment;
Provide employees with certified PPE tailored to their needs;
Train employees on the correct use, storage, and maintenance of equipment.
Improperly selected or poorly fitted PPE may not provide the necessary level of protection. For example, loose or ill-fitting clothing can get caught in machinery, while ill-fitting gloves can restrict movement and increase the risk of injury.
Equipment should be inspected before each use. During visual inspection, pay attention to:
Integrity (whether it is cut, worn, or torn);
The proper functioning of fasteners, zippers, or straps;
Structural changes in the material (e.g., wear of shoe soles, cracks in helmets).
Absolutely not. Damaged, malfunctioning, or expired PPE loses its protective function and poses a risk to the user. Such equipment must be immediately removed from service, replaced with new, or repaired only by a competent specialist in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Note: Safety is not just about equipment; it's a responsibility. Always follow the specific instructions provided by the manufacturer.
