The PPE is recommended to be worn during any activity that involves hazards that are physical, chemical, electrical, biohazards, airborne particulate matter, etc. For Example, activities such as bee-keeping, firefighting, and high-pressure cleaning work may require PPE usage. Some sectors such as healthcare, oil & gas industry, construction, pharmaceutical industry, and manufacturing industry require PPE, especially for frontline workers.
A PPE may be used for personal or professional purposes, under any situation that involves the risk of physical, chemical, electrical, or other types of injuries or illness. It is generally used when other measures are not feasible to be used. PPE can supplement the process of hazard control to minimize the risk of any infection or injury.
Yes, PPE should be properly inspected for the first time and on a regular basis by trained staff as per the instructions provided by the manufacturer. Inspection, maintenance, and repair are especially needed for PPEs used in a high-risk environment. The person involved in testing and maintenance should be competent and trained to carry out these tasks.
There is no clear cut rule for replacement of PPEs. It is recommended to follow the guidelines provided by the manufacturer, on approximate service time of the PPE. The manufacturers generally provide obsolescence deadline for PPE and its components. This should be strictly followed to avoid any mishaps.
Wearing PPE for prolonged duration can make your skin sweaty or hot. You should regularly take a break from wearing PPE throughout the shift to avoid these issues. If the skin issues have already occurred, inform your manager and follow the process of reporting any injury that occurred at your workplace.
