Personal Protective Equipment

Personal Protective Equipment is any device, tool or material designed to be worn, worn or worn by people to protect against one or more health and safety risks.

What should be considered when choosing personal protective equipment?

• Personal protective equipment should be used in cases where the identified risks cannot be prevented by collective protection methods or reduced to the desired level despite technical measures taken.
• Attention should be paid to prevent the risk associated with the PPE itself without creating a risk, to work conditions, to the health status of the user, ergonomic requirements and the work done.
• Attention should be paid to the CE mark of the selected PPE, products that do not have CE marking or whose safety is suspected should not be used. Information on the minimum safety conditions that personal protective equipment should bear should be obtained from the user manual. In the selection of personal protective equipment, attention should also be paid to limit values for risk.
