About The Course
in the current climate, PPE has become one of the most essential tools to protect staff and customers across all organisations. Effective fitting and usage can literally save lives. Even prior to Covid-19, in the UK there were nearly 2oo fatalities in the workplace and around 621,000 non-fatal injuries every year.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) plays a vital role in managing Health & Safety risks and correct using of equipment not only reduces risks, but can prevent costly insurance issues.
This course will show how wearing PPE plays a crucial role in preventing and reducing fatalities, injuries and diseases that would otherwise occur in the workplace. It includes details of a wide range of PPE options, examines the legislation and regulations that govern the responsibilities of employers, employees and suppliers, and provides a real-life case study showing the law in action.
The course will also cover risk assessment and the role it plays in the selection and use of PPE along with discussing other hazard control measures that can be implemented.
Finally, the course will move on to how to use, fit and wear PPE and understand its physical and theoretical limitations.
