Considerations when providing personal safety workwear

Personal protective equipment (PPE) is anything worn or used to minimise risk to the workers’ health and safety. This may include boots, earplugs, goggles, respirators, safety shoes, hard hats and more. In industries such as construction, businesses may need to provide construction workwear to further protect their workers if things go wrong.

Generally, businesses should control hazards at the source. They should not rely on human behaviour or responsibility to minimise risks. PPE is the least effective safety measure and should only be used as a backup. Businesses should consult with users and safety consultants to conduct a detailed evaluation of the risk and WHS requirements for PPE. They should also provide instructions and procedures to maintain and replace protective clothing, thereby minimising risks to the worker.

A hardworking and safe employee is a valuable asset to the business. Keep them safe and secure by searching through our listings and finding a workwear clothing supplier near you.
