Personal protective equipment PPE

In the world of work, employee safety is a primary concern. Among the preventive measures implemented by employers, personal protective equipment (PPE) plays a vital role . These devices designed to be worn or held by workers aim to protect them against occupational hazards that may threaten their health and safety. Whether against mechanical, chemical, biological hazards or exposure to noise and radiation, PPE represents a crucial barrier between employees and the threats they may face.

The choice and proper use of PPE requires in-depth consideration, guided by a rigorous analysis of workplace risks. Beyond legal obligations, employers must ensure that the equipment selected offers appropriate protection, while taking into account the comfort and operational constraints of employees. Only a concerted approach, involving workers, will ensure the effectiveness and acceptance of PPE within the company.
