Introduction

Training, storage and other ongoing considerations Procuring the correct PPE is only the fi rst part of the equation. It then has to be stored, maintained, used correctly, disposed of and replaced. Shelf-life of the PPE should be considered to store boxes for a certain period of time. Most importantly, users must be correctly trained in its use. Employers, in addition to continually assessing workplace hazards as part of an interactive health and safety programme, must keep abreast of all technical and legislative developments relating to workplace safety and modify all safety policies and procedures as necessary.
