PPE Training – Personal Protective Equipment

This Personal Protective Equipment Training programme is for people whose job requires them to wear PPE of any type. It highlights the importance of wearing the PPE which has been provided, wearing it correctly and looking after it properly. It’s IOSH approved for your reassurance and will help you to comply with current legislation.

This training aims to highlight the importance of using Personal Protective Equipment, as well as what you can do to ensure your PPE continues to provide the protection you need.

Every year there are thousands of PPE-related injury accidents in the workplace; around half of these happen because either no PPE is provided when it should be, or because the equipment supplied is not used or maintained correctly. These accidents are easily preventable if those using PPE understand its importance, and how to correctly maintain it.

This PPE course explains the different kinds of hazards that PPE protects you from, as well covering the different types of Personal Protective Equipment and the laws in place that relate to the provision and use of PPE at work. It also looks into responsibilities, just because you are wearing your PPE, it doesn’t mean you are 100% safe.

iHASCO’s PPE training is designed to improve the occupational health and safety of workers in high-risk environments. Make sure you understand everything there is to know about PPE and understand your responsibilities with our online Personal Protective Equipment training.

This eLearning course only provides awareness education. Face to face training would be needed in addition in order to complete all-round skills and knowledge to be able to carry this forward practically in your organisation.
