Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Policy Writers

What are Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Policies?

Personal protective equipment (PPE) policies outline how organisations provide, use and maintain protective clothing and equipment to reduce risks to employee health and safety.

PPE is a last line of defence when risks cannot be eliminated by other means. A clear policy ensures that employees understand when and how PPE should be used, that it is fit for purpose, and that the organisation complies with legal requirements.

What Do Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Policies Cover?

A PPE policy typically includes:

• Identification of tasks and roles where PPE is required

• Procedures for providing suitable PPE free of charge to employees

• Responsibilities of managers for ensuring PPE availability, training and enforcement

• Responsibilities of employees for wearing, maintaining and reporting defective PPE

• Standards for correct fitting, use and storage of PPE

• Inspection, cleaning and replacement schedules for PPE

• Procedures for specialist PPE such as respiratory protection, hearing protection or fall arrest systems

• Training requirements for employees on safe use of PPE

• Links to health and safety, risk assessments, occupational health and contractor safety policies

A clear policy helps ensure that PPE is provided and used consistently across the organisation, protecting employees from avoidable harm.

It also ensures compliance with the Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations 1992 (as amended) and the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974.

By embedding PPE requirements into everyday practices, organisations can reduce accidents, improve safety culture and demonstrate their commitment to protecting staff and contractors.
