Getting the Most from PPE

Getting the Most from PPE

As the owner of a business, a trend might worry you to the core. Safety is of utmost importance to you. That said, your team is not so keen to wear their personal protective equipment. Your visit to a Canadian med supplies store may not yield the results you might expect simply because your employees are being non-cooperative.

We bring to you a few tips to help you get the most from PPE kits. These measures might prompt others when their teammates stay protected while some get into trouble all the time:

Evaluate the Environment

Personal protective equipment is a must if your business is located in an area that faces the threat of an infectious outbreak like COVID-19 or one of its dangerous variants. Otherwise, PPE kits should be available when modifications to the environment do not guarantee the protection your team deserves. Your best source of information here is a hazard assessment which you should conduct periodically.

Make PPE kits Accessible

Store the PPE kits for your entire workforce in a central area that is easily accessible. You should also make sure that there is sufficient stock available.

Involve Decision Makers in the Effort

Any effort to give priority to overall safety should receive support from your company’s decision-makers. If they happen not to care about being safe, your team will respond in kind. Convince the company’s top officials to remain in the forefront when it comes to safety. Let them conduct regular assessments.
