Safety Workwear

There are some things you can leave to chance. And there are some things you can't. Like your health and safety! Do not be that person who did not use PPE while working and later suffered the consequences of a work injury. Don't mistake PPE (Personal Protection Equipment) as a hassle or a setback, rather PPE is a crucial matter for your safety and well being.

The usage of personal protection equipment does not only prevent injuries and fatalities, it also prevents potential legal action that could be taken either by Work Health Safety Officers, your employer, other contractors and property owners. 

Under Section 46 of the WHS Regulations and employee must use PPE as required, refrain from misusing PPE, as well as advising the business if any damage has been made towards any safety equipment.

Employers also need to follow a set of WHS regulations regarding PPE. Employers are obligated; to provide PPE to workers, make sure workers are using PPE and maintain and restock PPE.

It is also important that employees and employers select the right PPE for the job. A wrong selection of PPE may lead to injury and a decrease in productivity. For example an employer purchases a pair of latex gloves not knowing that his employee is allergic to latex. The employee uses the gloves without checking the material and the next day he woke up with a rash on his hands.
