PPE PPE is the only effective means of controlling the risks of injury or ill health.
Employers must assess the work being undertaken and the environment in
which their employees will work wears the appropriate PPE to be worn.Example: - A typical construction/building site may require workers to wear aHard Hat, Coveralls, Safety Footwear, Gloves, Eye Protection and HighVisibility Vest.
Main Contractors must check that all subcontractors are conforming by
providing PPE for all their employees.
Risk Assessments must also highlight any additional PPE requirement from theabove example depending on the particular hazards so that appropriate PPE isissued.
Employees should be made aware of their responsibility to wear the PPEappropriately, take care of equipment and report any defects. They should alsobe informed that if they do not wear or misuse any PPE that has beenappropriately issued that this could lead to disciplinary action. This equipment isprovided for their protection.

Types of hearing protectors
Ear plugs are inserted to block the ear canal. They may be premolded(preformed) or moldable (foam ear plugs). Ear plugs are sold as disposableproducts or reusable plugs. Custom molded ear plugs are also available.
Semi-insert ear plugs which consist of two ear plugs held over the ends of the
ear canal by a rigid headband.
Ear muffs consist of sound-attenuating material and soft ear cushions that fitaround the ear and hard outer cups. They are held together by a head band.

Bad posture, losing the curve of the back
Lifting with legs straight TOP HEAVY LIFTING Lifting off balance
Lifting weights that are too heavy
Twisting with or without a load and not using feet
Stretching or reaching
Pulling or pushing off balance or with the point of contact too high or too low

Damage blood vessels and reduction in blood supply
Damage nerves causing a permanent loss of feeling
Bones and muscles may also become damaged, e.g. arthritis
Early Symptoms Of Vibration White Finger (VWF) Include:
Usually first set off by the cold. Numbness
Pins and needles, chilblains, and numbness
Grip strength reduced
What can you doread, understand and adhere to any safe systemsprepared by your Supervisor.
