Employers must ensure that their workers have the right PPE for the job, and must provide it for them if they don’t.

It is also important that all PPE provided must be compatible with any other safety equipment or clothing required for the job, must fit correctly and comfortably, and must be suitable for the nature of the work. Employers must also ensure that workers’ PPE is maintained properly and replaced when necessary. Proper training on use and maintenance should also be provided.
