PPE Tips

Employers must protect workers from health and safety risks. This means they must provide PPE free of charge if a risk assessment shows it is needed.

To stay safe, workers may have to wear PPE such as safety helmets, gloves, eye or hearing protection, high-visibility clothing, safety footwear and harnesses.

PPE also includes respiratory protective equipment (RPE) to prevent workers breathing in dust, mist, gas or fume.
