PPE Awareness Certification

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) training protects workers in many fields from injury and disease. However, PPE usage should not be undertaken lightly and should be used only as a last resort when other risk reduction measures do not work.

In our PPE training, you will learn how and when it is appropriate to use PPE, what you need to bear in mind when choosing it and how to get the most from your equipment. The course also addresses employers’ and employees’ duties under health and safety laws.

Our PPE training covers:

• The main types of PPE available, how it protects people from harm and the legislation governing its use and selection
• How to choose the correct type of PPE for your workers, taking into account their circumstances, job type and individual needs
• How to store and maintain PPE, why it should be tested on a regular basis and when it should be inspected
• Why a good training program will improve compliance with PPE policies in the workplace, barriers to training and the components of a successful training session
