How to specify personal protective equipment

PPE is the last line of defence after elimination, substitution and engineering controls, so it must match the hazards identified in your risk assessment. Good specifications name the standard and performance class, not just the product type. On hot industrial sites, comfort and heat strain decide whether PPE is actually worn.

Start from the risk assessment

List the hazards for each task or work area (impact, cut, chemical, noise, dust, fall, heat, electrical) and select PPE that addresses each one. Avoid issuing one kit to everyone when tasks differ.

Specify standard and class

Quote the standard and the performance level you need, for example EN 388 cut level C, EN 149 FFP3 or EN ISO 20345 S3. Ask for the declaration of conformity and the notified body certificate for Category III items such as respirators, fall arrest and chemical gloves.

Check compatibility

Items worn together must not reduce each other's protection: spectacles can break an earmuff seal, and helmet-mounted accessories must be approved for the specific helmet. Test combinations before bulk ordering.

Plan for heat and sun

In summer temperatures above 45 °C, choose ventilated, lightweight and breathable options where the risk allows, and consider UV exposure, which shortens the life of plastics and fabrics.
