Personal Protective Equipment Online Training Course
Details
Our Personal Protective Equipment online training course is designed to raise awareness of just how important PPE really is. The course will inform you of the different types of PPE, the hazards, (biological, chemical and physical) they are designed to protect you from, and the legal responsibilities you share with your employer to keep you safe from workplace hazards.
Every year there are over 500,000 injuries in the UK. Many of these injuries occur because workers aren’t wearing personal protective equipment, (PPE). It is actually estimated that 84% of head injuries, 90% of eye injuries, and a staggering 99% of hearing loss injuries could be prevented by the wearing of suitable PPE.
Many workers still report they regularly see people working without the correct PPE.
LegislationThe Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations 1992, as amended), state that employers must protect workers from health and safety risks. This means they must provide PPE free of charge if a risk assessment shows it is needed.
To stay safe, workers may have to wear PPE such as safety helmets, gloves, eye or hearing protection, high-visibility clothing, safety footwear and harnesses.
The Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations 1992, (as amended), places duties on employers to ensure that PPE is:
- Properly assessed before use to make sure it is fit for purpose.
- Maintained and stored properly.
- Provided with instructions on how to use it safely.
- Used correctly by workers.
Employers must ensure workers have sufficient information, instruction and training on PPE use.
