PPE - Personal Protective Equipment
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is a set of devices, accessories, or clothing specifically designed to be used by a worker to protect them against risks that may affect their safety or health during professional activities.
These risks can be physical, chemical, biological, mechanical, electrical, or even psychosocial. PPE acts as protective barriers, preventing or minimizing direct exposure to hazards present in the work environment.
Essential Characteristics of PPE
- Suitability to risk and activity: PPE must be effective against identified hazards and compatible with the work to be performed.
- Comfort and ergonomics: It should allow mobility, thermal comfort, and not hinder task execution.
- Size and fit to the worker: It should be available in different sizes or be adjustable.
- Maintenance and durability: It should maintain its effectiveness over time, requiring regular inspection and replacement.
- CE Certification: All PPE must comply with European safety standards and be properly certified.
