PPE Assessment and Issue Record
About this document
Personal protective equipment (PPE) – such as safety footwear, gloves, eye protection, hearing protection, high-visibility clothing and respiratory protective equipment – is the last line of defence when risks cannot be controlled in other ways. Employers must assess and supply suitable PPE free of charge to employees and to “limb (b)” workers, make sure it fits and is maintained, and train people to use it. This document records each of those steps.
The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.
Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
