Personal protective equipment

Explore protective equipment by hazard, use and documented performance.

From identified hazard to equipment

Handling, splashes, noise, dust and falls call for different protection. The employer identifies hazards and required performance. Vetiwork studies an equipment proposal against those requirements; a job title alone is not a specification.

One family, many references

Products associated with the same standard can differ in performance, fit and limitations. This is an overview of distributed PPE families. Exact items are discussed from the assessed hazards and model-specific documentation before they are identified in the quotation.

Documents to compare

For each reference, request manufacturer identity, model, sizes, performance, instructions and applicable conformity documents. A standard number describes an assessment framework; it does not on its own establish suitability for your workplace.

Consider the complete combination

Helmets, eyewear, hearing protection and respirators can interact. Check approved combinations, adjustment, care, consumables and replacement. Respiratory and fall protection also require suitable work organisation, training and company procedures.
