It is your responsibility to:
• Always wear the appropriate protective clothing at all times you are on duty or
undertaking a specific function that requires protective clothing.
• dispose of any single-use workwear safely and correctly, when you have finished with it.
• If the item is re-usable, eg, staff uniform, ensure it is laundered or cleaned at the
correct intervals according to the company policy and is kept in a good state of
repair.
• Keep all PPE correctly stored and know where it is when needed. For example,
special goggles may be required when handling chemicals, but you may not handle
chemicals all day and may only need to use them once or twice a day for short
periods. It is essential that you know where the goggles are stored and that they are
stored in a safe place and are kept clean and free of contamination and soiling —
and replaced if they are broken.
Failure to wear the correct PPE suitable for the job may result in serious injury, loss of a
limb or eyesight or cause burns and damage to your clothing.
