WHAT IS PPE? 

PPE stands for Personal Protective Equipment 

and is regulated by the Health and Safety 

Executive (HSE). This government agency 

has overall responsibility for the regulation 

of safety issues in the workplace and the 

enforcement of them. 

Modern, carefully designed PPE significantly 

reduces the risk of injury and can make all the 

difference between a situation in which a worker 

walks away from an accident, and one in which 

he or she does not. 

PPE at work regulations 

The key pieces of PPE legislation are the Personal 

Protective Equipment (Enforcement) Regulations 

2018 (SI 2018/390), which enact EU Regulation 

2016/425, and the earlier Personal Protective 

Equipment at Work Regulations 1992.

HEAD 

PROTECTION 

Designed to protect the vulnerable head area from falling objects and other 

workplace hazards. In many work areas the provision of a hard hat is a 

requirement under the PPE regulations and should be enforced for worker 

protection. Hard hats are also frequently designed to work in conjunction 

with ear and eye protection as required. 

Under the Personal Protective Equipment at Work 

Regulations 1992, employers have a legal duty to 

make suitable, properly maintained workplace 

safety equipment available, free of charge, to 

any employees working in potentially hazardous 

environments. These employees must also be 

provided with adequate training in the use of the 

equipment. It must be stored in an accessible 

location, and if it is not required on a daily basis, 

employees must be made fully aware of its 

location for easy access.

Protection 

Leading Brands 

Employees hold some responsibilities themselves 

under the Personal Protective Equipment at Work 

Regulations 1992, which includes: 

• Using the safety equipment properly, in 

accordance with the training they have 

received.

TO HEAD PROTECTION 

Head Protection 

INTRODUCTION 

Our head protection guide will help 

you choose the most appropriate 

protective headwear for your task or 

environment. 

Hard hats are designed to protect 

the vulnerable head area from falling 

objects and other workplace hazards. In many work 

areas the provision of a hard hat is a requirement 

under the PPE regulations and should be enforced for 

worker protection. 

HARD HAT COLOUR CODING 

Hard hats are supplied in various colours, each often 

signifying the role or task of the wearer. 

Colours may vary from one company to another, and some 

organisations change colour coding every three to five 

years to remove any old helmets from their site. 

EN STANDARDS 

Industrial safety helmets EN 397 

6 HEAD PROTECTION 

This key standard specifies mandatory and 

optional physical and performance requirements 

(shock absorption, penetration resistance, 

flame resistance and chin strap attachment), 

including methods of test and marking 

• Taking reasonable care of the PPE 

provided and not attempting unauthorised 

modifications or repairs.

WHEN TO USE A BUMP CAP 

A bump cap is designed to be used when risk to the user 

is from overhead stationary obstacles and not moving or 

falling objects when a hard hat should be worn. Compared 

to the hard hat, bump caps offer a lower level of head 

protection as defined in the standard BS EN 812:2012. 

Bump caps offer the following benefits to the wearer: 

requirements of industrial safety helmets. 

Helmets for mountaineers EN 12492 

Safety requirements and test methods. 

This European Standard specifies safety 

requirements and test methods for safety 

helmets for use in mountaineering. EN 12492 

tests include penetration resistance, shock 

absorption and chin strap release & strength. 

Electrically insulating helmets EN 50365 

For use on low voltage installations. Hard hats 

used in an area where there is risk of contact 

with voltages of 1,000V AC or 1,500V DC 

must meet this standard. Tests measure the 

Lightweight 

electrical insulation of the helmet in water. 

• Visually examining PPE equipment before 

use and reporting any identified issues 

without delay. 

• Returning the equipment to the proper 

storage areas after use, unless it is normal 

practice for them to take it home overnight 

(PPE footwear and clothing for example). 

• Reporting any loss of PPE equipment 

immediately, so no unnecessary risks 

are taken in its absence.

Constructed of fabric with a protective 

shell of HDPE or ABS, bump caps have 

low weight for added comfort. 

Washable 

Being made of cotton or canvas means that caps can be 

kept clean for repeat wear or for different personnel and 

visitors. 

Easy to wear 

Where there is a need to combine head protection with 

other PPE, such as respiratory equipment, bumps caps 

make this easy. 

High performance industrial helmets EN 14052 

This is a higher specification standard and 

helmets meeting the requirements will give the 

wearer additional protection for side impacts 

and helmet penetration. 

Industrial bump caps EN 812 

The European Standard specifying physical 

and performance requirements, methods of 

test and marking requirements for industrial 

bump caps. Industrial bump caps are intended 

to provide protection to the wearer against 

the effects of striking the head against hard, 

stationary objects.

Respiratory Protective Equipment 

INTRODUCTION 

In today’s world there are multiple 

concerns surrounding our lungs 

and general respiratory health, 

and in a work environment it is 

necessary for many people to wear 

respirators or breathing apparatus 

to protect their health. In simple 

terms, respirators work to prevent 

WHEN IS RPE REQUIRED? 

Some work activities can cause harmful substances to 

contaminate the air in a variety of forms, for example: 

• Dust – airborne solid particles are present 

• Mists – minute droplets are present (due to 

condensation or processes such as paint spraying) 

• Metal fumes – airborne particles of metals that

harmful substances from in the air being inhaled. Most 

types of respirator work by filtering the air whilst some 

types provide a supply of clean air to breathe. 

This simple guide has been developed to provide an 

overview of the key points you need to consider when 

selecting Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) and 

explain the differences between respirator types. It will 

help you to shop the RS range so you can quickly and 

effectively find the products and parts you need to keep 

your staff safe in the workplace. 


As industry experts we offer a wide range of respiratory 

protective equipment for most requirements and 

environments, from professionally-approved RS products, 

to those from the global market leader 3M, so you can find 

all the products you need from one source, with next-day 

delivery, competitive-pricing and bulk discounts. 

have vaporised and condensed (e.g. through 

welding processes) 

• Gases – can be odourless and/or invisible and 

spread quickly 

• Vapours – from the evaporation of solids or liquids at 

room temperature 

• Oxygen deficient atmospheres – oxygen has been 

displaced or diluted, resulting in a risk of asphyxiation 

WHY IS RPE REQUIRED? 

National health and safety regulations commonly set out 

the requirements for minimising hazardous risks in the 

workplace. 

RPE should ONLY be used where ALL attempts have been 

made to remove or reduce the levels of hazard, for example 

by installing extraction equipment, or by putting up 

physical barriers before even considering the use of RPE. 

National health and safety regulations generally require 

that employers should: 

1. Identify the hazard 

2. Assess the concentration of the hazard 

3. Provide only CE approved PPE/RPE 

4. Establish a documented training program for all 

employees that are required to use RPE to ensure 

correct use, fitting and maintenance – which should 

include cleaning, replacement and storage 

“Thousands of people die from work-related 

lung diseases every year, in many cases due to 

exposures that took place many years before. 

Breathing in certain dusts, gases, fumes and 

vapours in the workplace can cause serious, 

long-term lung damage.” 

IMPORTANT NOTE 

Respirators MUST NEVER 

be used in oxygen 

deficient atmospheres. 

Specialist breathing 

apparatus is required 

that is not covered in 

this guide.

HI-VIS STANDARD EN ISO 20471 HOW TO MEASURE YOURSELF 

The standard for high-visibility clothing specifies 

requirements for clothing to be visible in daylight and in the 

dark. It defines colour, retroreflection, minimum area and 

placement of reflective materials. 

The standard divides into 3 classes: 

Class 3 

The highest level required for personnel 

working on or near motorways, dual 

carriageways and airports. Garments 

must cover the torso and have a minimum 

of sleeves with reflective bands. 

Note: If a sleeve can block a clear view of 

two reflective bands on the torso, then the 

sleeve must be surrounded by two reflective bands. 

Class 2 

The intermediate level for use when working 

on or near Class A or B roads. Class 

2 encompasses sleeveless waistcoats, 

tabards, bib and brace trousers etc. 

Class 1 

The minimum amount of visibility when 

working on a private road or with others 

who are wearing a garment of a higher 

class. 

These are garments such as simple 

sleeveless waistcoats where the area 

of surface material and corresponding 

reflective material does not conform to 

either Class 2 or 3. 

There are only 3 colours of hi-vis clothing recognized by this 

Standard: Yellow, Red, and Orange

of discharging the body’s static

designed for the electronics 

industry and any assembly line 

where sensitive electronics are 

fitted, as well as the explosives industry. 


These offer protection 

from potentially 

dangerous machinery,
