Course Description

In the UK there are approximately 144 fatalities in the workplace and around 621,000 non-fatal

injuries every year. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) plays a vital role in managing Health &

Safety risks. However, historical data shows many workers suffering injury were not wearing this

clothing.

This course will show how wearing PPE plays a crucial role in preventing and reducing fatalities,

injuries and diseases that would otherwise occur in the workplace. It includes details of a wide range

of PPE options, examines the legislation and regulations that govern the responsibilities of

employers, employees and suppliers, and provides a real-life case study showing the law in action.
