Using personal protective equipment (PPE) to control risks at work

From HSE


Using personal protective equipment (PPE) to control risks at work

All employers must provide PPE free of charge if a risk assessment shows it is needed. 

To stay safe, workers may have to wear PPE such as safety helmets, gloves, eye or hearing protection, high-visibility clothing, safety footwear and harnesses.

PPE also includes respiratory protective equipment (RPE) to prevent workers breathing in dust, mist, gas or fume.

You can find out more detail in our step guide Using personal protective equipment (PPE) to control risks at work. It includes guidance on:

  • when to use PPE

  • what the law says

  • managing risk using PPE

HSE's website also has a downloadable copy of our publication: Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations 1992 (as amended): Guidance on Regulations.
