Training Critical In Correct Selection And Use Of Ppe

摘要

When it comes to selecting and using personal protective equipment (PPE), knowing which level to use for which hazard is the main concern for health and safety managers. This is according to independent researchers commissioned by diversified technology company 3M, who spoke to more than 100 health and safety managers and some 200 workers in the construction industry to gauge their views on PPE and determine the reasons why it may not be worn. Nearly one in four of the managers cited matching the protection level of the equipment to the hazards as a difficulty- particularly in construction, where unexpected and unusual situations can crop up at any time owing to the dynamic nature of most sites.
