CPD, IIRSM & IOSH Approved Personal Protective Equipment E-Learning Course

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) serves as a critical defence against workplace injury. This CPD, IIRSM, and IOSH-approved course provides a comprehensive guide to PPE management, aligning with current UK health and safety legislation.

Participants will learn to conduct rigorous risk assessments, understand the hierarchy of control, and master the selection, fitting, and maintenance of protective gear. Through practical case studies and regulatory analysis, this training ensures employers and employees can effectively mitigate risks, prevent fatalities, and maintain a safe, compliant working environment.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

• Understand the legislation surrounding the use of PPE, legal obligations and the safety standards that need to be met for PPE to be effective and safe to use.
• Recognise that PPE is the last choice in the hierarchy of control and must only be used when stated as appropriate in risk assessments.
• Evaluate the different types of PPE, state where it provides protection and understand that PPE can be used in combination as 3 or 5 point protection.
• Understand the need for good maintenance of PPE, and then where it can’t be maintained, it should be replaced.
• Create effective methods to ensure broken PPE or PPE that needs maintaining is not used.

Candidates understanding how and why they should use PPE will mean they are more likely to use it consistently and correctly throughout their work. This has the advantage of reducing their risk of injury.
Online training is flexible, efficient and cost-effective, so candidates can progress through the modules at their own pace, in their own time, making it easy to fit the training around their work and personal life.

This course is primarily aimed at people that work in industries such as construction where they are likely to need to use a wide range of PPE on a daily basis. However, there are many other areas of work where PPE is required such as factories, warehouses, window cleaners, healthcare workers, beauticians and many others.
One of the key things this course is intended to do is to teach people why they should use the PPE that is supplied to them and it is some of these other work areas where this message will be most effective.
