PPE Noncompliance a Serious Threat To Work Health, Safety, Says Survey

摘要

In a recent survey by Kimberly-Clark Professional, 89% of safety professionals said they had observed workers not wearing safety equipment when they should have been, and 29% reported this had happened on numerous occasions. "This high rate of noncompliance with personal protective equipment (PPE) protocols presents a serious threat to worker health and safety," said Gina Tsiropoulos, manufacturing segment marketing manager for Kimberly-Clark Professional. "While the reasons for noncompliance are varied, the threat to workers is clear-cut. Without the proper use of PPE, they are at risk of serious injury or even death."
