Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) plays a vital role in keeping construction workers safe from common site hazards such as falling objects, loud noise, airborne particles, and slips or trips. This course provides essential knowledge on the correct selection, use, and maintenance of PPE in line with UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidance.
By the end of this course, learners will understand their responsibilities under the PPE at Work Regulations 1992 (as amended), know how to assess when PPE is required, and be able to identify the right equipment for various construction tasks. Ensuring proper use of PPE not only reduces the risk of injury, but also supports a culture of safety across the site.
