Frequently Asked Questions
When should you use PPE?
PPE in UK law should be used to prevent an injury where risk is present. Personal Protective Equipment is the last line of defence after conducting careful planning and implementing safety precautions.
Reasons for PPE:
- When you cannot remove the hazard
- As a temporary measure until a more effective protection method has been discovered
- Use as an additional method of protection
When do employees have to use PPE?
Under UK law it is illegal for an employer to charge an employee for the use of PPE. An employer must provide PPE where necessary and provide training on the use of PPE in the workplace.
Employees are required to wear personal protective equipment wherever there is a hazard present. The PPE must defend against the potential hazards of the environment.
Are uniforms classed as PPE?
If the garments do not offer any protection from hazards, then they are technically not classed as PPE. However, in the circumstance where without the garment you are exposed to hazards, then this is classed as PPE.
This is still the case if the item is personalized with a logo or not.
