Course Overview
Workplace Safety Starts with You
Workplace safety remains a critical concern in the UK, with approximately 144 fatalities and around 621,000 non-fatal injuries reported each year. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is an essential factor in reducing health and safety risks. However, data indicates many workplace injuries occur when workers fail to wear the required protective gear. This course highlights the vital role PPE plays in preventing injuries, illnesses, and fatalities in the workplace. It covers a complete range of PPE options, explains relevant legislation and regulations governing the responsibilities of employers, employees, and suppliers, and includes a real-life case study illustrating these laws in practice.
You will also gain insights into risk assessment and its importance in selecting and utilising PPE effectively. Additionally, the course discusses other hazard control measures that can be implemented alongside PPE to enhance workplace safety. Furthermore, this Personal Protective Equipment course provides practical guidance on the proper use, fitting, and limitations of PPE. It is relevant for those in industries such as construction, where PPE is a daily necessity and for professionals in factories, warehouses, healthcare, beauty, cleaning services, and many other fields where protective gear is required.
A key objective of this course is to educate workers on the importance of consistently using PPE provided to them. Understanding its significance and correct usage will more likely get employees to wear PPE properly, minimising the risk of workplace injuries. This Personal Protective Equipment course is accredited by leading industry organisations, including IOSH, IIRSM, and CPD.
