Employers must provide, replace and pay for personal protective equipment. It is essential for health and safety at work. Employers should conduct risk assessment procedures and know the PPE regulations. Suitable PPE has to be used when the rest of the measures are inadequate to control exposure. 

Employees must know the reasons why they need personal protective equipment, and they should receive training so they can use it correctly. It is necessary to monitor whether the personal protective equipment fits correctly. Wearing PPE should be comfortable, and all the items of equipment should be compatible. Personal protective equipment shouldn't interfere with the job being done or introduce another health risk.

Before choosing the right personal protective equipment you should consider the suitability for the characteristics of the job, the correct level of protection, and whether some training or maintenance is needed.
