Safer work starts with better knowledge.

Use PPE alongside effective hazard control rather than as the only plan.

Choose PPE for the actual hazard and task.

Provide a suitable fit for the individual wearer.

Check that combined items do not weaken each other's protection.

Check protective equipment for damage and contamination.

Remove worn or damaged PPE through the approved replacement process.

Explain how to use, adjust, clean and store each item.

Report discomfort that prevents correct use.

Use head protection selected for the work and impact hazards.

Match eye protection to impact, splash or optical hazards.

Select footwear for the assessed crush, puncture and slip hazards.

Select gloves for the task rather than using one type universally.

Avoid protective clothing arrangements that create entanglement hazards.

Keep visibility clothing clean and suitable for the traffic environment.

Store PPE where heat, chemicals and sunlight will not damage it.

Use suitable hygiene arrangements for shared protective equipment.

Provide visitors with appropriate protection and instructions.
