PPE Compliance

PPE compliance refers to a company's strict adherence to regulations governing the use and management of Personal Protective Equipment in the workplace. As a fundamental element of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS), compliance is a critical final barrier against workplace injuries and health risks.

This goes beyond simply providing gear; it's a comprehensive process. It mandates that employers select the correct PPE for specific hazards, provide it to all workers, and ensure comprehensive training on its proper use and maintenance. By meticulously following these OHS protocols, organizations can ensure worker well-being and a safe operational environment when other control measures are insufficient.
