===What standard of PPE is required?===
PPE used at a workplace must be:
*selected to minimise risk to work health and safety
*suitable for the nature of the work and any hazard associated with the work
*a suitable size and fit and reasonably comfortable for the person wearing it
*maintained, repaired or replaced so it continues to minimise the worker’s health and safety risk
*used or worn by the worker, so far as is reasonably practicable.
===What are the problems with using PPE?===
Where PPE is provided and used at work, you should remember that:
*wearing PPE may adversely affect the performance of tasks being undertaken (for example restricting vision
or mobility)
*PPE may be uncomfortable to wear and some workers may not be able to wear it (for example, workers who
are allergic to latex cannot wear rubber gloves)
*PPE should not interfere with any medical conditions
of the worker using the PPE
===What is the worker’s duty in relation to PPE?===
*If the PPE is uncomfortable or does not fit properly, the
worker should consult with their manager.
