PPE Workwear FAQ's
What is PPE?
PPE stands for "Personal Protective Equipment" and refers to specialised clothing that is worn to protect the user from workplace hazards. PPE is commonly work in industries such as construction, healthcare, manufacturing, engineering and much more.
PPE can be used in a variety of settings, including workplaces, schools, labs, construction, hospitals and more.
There are many different types of personal protective equipment available on the market with some safety clothing needing specialist industry European standards.
Each type of personal protective equipment is designed to protect your body from a specific type of hazard. For example, safety glasses will protect your eyes from flying debris, while hard hats can protect your head from falling objects.
Some of the most common PPE features include:
- Industrial Safety Helmets: BS EN 397
-Personal Eye Protection Standard: EN166
- Waterproofing and Breathability: EN343
- Thermal Arc Hazard Protection: IEC 61482

What are the 7 types of PPE?
PPE is categorised into 7 categories: Head, eye/face, hearing, respiratory, hand, foot and body protection.
Why is PPE important?
Personal protective equipment helps to prevent injuries and infections. Injuries and infections can lead to time off work, hospitalisation, and even death. By using PPE, you can help to reduce the risks associated with your job.
If you work in a laboratory, you may be exposed to dangerous chemicals. By wearing gloves and a respirator, you can help to protect your hands and lungs from these hazardous substances.
In another example, construction workers are often exposed to noise levels that exceed what is safe for human ears. Wearing earplugs or earmuffs will aid in preventing damaged hearing or tinnitus.
In short, PPE is essential for minimising the risk of serious injury where hazards are present in the workplace. Alongside this, PPE ensures legal compliance and maintains a controlled, safe and productive workforce.
When Should You Replace Your PPE?
There are some basic warning signs that PPE will need replacing including the below:
- Damaged, defective or worn out
- Cracked, gouged, excessively scratched, ill-fitting, or broken
- If the equipment is exposed to excess dust, sunlight, humidity, extreme cold / heat, and chemicals
- Heavily soiled or anything damaged from UV rays, chemicals, sunlight or tearing (clothing)
- If the PPE no longer works to provide safety
- When the shelf life recommended by the supplier has expired
- Throw away disposable PPE after use
If you do need to replace any PPE it is recommended to have a suitable replacement PPE on hand. If you have any visitors at your workplace, it is useful to have disposable PPE ready and available in case they require protection.
You will need to ensure that PPE is provided to your team, that they are using it correctly and that it is clean, hygienic and in good working order.
What Are The Personal Protective Equipment 1992 Work Regulations?
The Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations 1992 is enforced when the risk to employee safety cannot be controlled using standard health and safety precautions. Legislation states that PPE must be supplied free of charge should the employee need it in order to carry out their role safely.
In order to comply with Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations 1992, you need to:
- Do a risk assessment of the workplace and identify what hazards there are and what PPE is necessary
- Ensure that PPE meets the relevant British or European Standards
- Train employees on how to use PPE
- Maintain and store PPE properly
- Keep records of risk assessments and PPE provided
