Minimum requirements that any Personal Protective Equipment (EPP’s) should have

The main function of all protective equipment is to prevent and minimize the risks of accidents but sometimes they are considered to be uncomfortable by users, especially those who work long hours.

All personal protective equipment must meet minimum requirements regardless of their function or nature. They must cover the function of protecting the worker from the risk to which he or she is exposed, but they should not affect the comfort of the user or cause discomfort, irritation or pain. A good equipment must ensure maximum comfort and ergonomics, therefore it should not restrict the movement of the worker.

Similarly, every PPE must be durable, but their durability depends on the area and the use, therefore, the PPE should be very durable, and also should be of easy maintenance and cleaning by the user and must comply with global and local rules and safety regulations.

REMEMBER PREVENTION IS THE KEY, YOUR HEALTH AND SAFETY COMES FIRST,
