Employers are responsible for the provision and use of personal protective equipment for workers in the workplace. Personal protective equipment is equipment that will protect employees against health or safety risks at work.
Major personal protective equipment includes safety helmets, goggles, gloves, high visibility clothing, seat belts, safety shoes and respiratory protective equipment.
In order to make the working environment safe and to direct employees to work safely and responsibly, businesses have to prepare job descriptions, job processes and job descriptions, provide training and conduct regular inspections. Despite all precautions, some workplace hazards may persist depending on the type and type of activity.
For example, breathing in polluted air can damage the lungs, head and feet from falling materials, eyes splashed by airborne particles or splashes of liquid particles, skin from contact with corrosive substances, and skin from excessive heat or cold. Personal protective equipment is important to reduce the risks in these situations.
However, personal protective equipment should only be used as a last resort. If personal protection is still required after other measures have been taken, enterprises must provide it free of charge to employees. While this is done, they have to make sure that these equipments are of good quality and functional.
The following are a few standards that are based on the testing of personal protective equipment by the competent authorities:
TS EN 397 + A1 Industrial safety helmets
TS EN 341 Fall protection - Equipment for rescue operations
TS 5560 EN 166 Personal eye protection - Features
TS EN 388 Protective gloves - Against mechanical risks
TS EN 140 Respiratory protection devices - Half masks and quarter masks - Specification, tests, marking
TS EN 374 Protective gloves - Against chemicals and microorganisms
