PPE
Personal Protective Equipment, such as gloves, footwear and face masks,
is vital to ensuring the safety and to protecting the health of its wearer.
PPE must:
- bear the CE marking
- be suitable for the risk to be prevented and the user’s ergonomic and health requirements
- be accompanied by clear instructions for use written in the user’s language
All PPE is subject to the provisions of Regulation (EU) 2016/425 and, at national level, of Italian Legislative Decree no.17 of 19 February 2019, which defines the applicable fines for non-conforming PPE.
