Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Approved Online Training

Personal Protective Equipment Approved Online Training Course Overview:

In the UK, there are approximately 144 fatalities in the workplace and around 621,000 non-fatal injuries every year. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) plays a vital role in managing Health & Safety risks. However, historical data shows many workers suffering injury were not wearing this clothing.

This online Personal Protective Equipment E-Learning course will show how wearing PPE plays a crucial role in preventing and reducing fatalities, injuries and diseases that would otherwise occur in the workplace. The Personal Protective Equipment online course includes details of a wide range of PPE options, examines the legislation and regulations that govern the responsibilities of employers, employees and suppliers, and provides a real-life case study showing the law in action.

The Personal Protective Equipment e-learning course will also cover risk assessment and its role in the selection and use of PPE along with discussing other hazard control measures that can be implemented.

Finally, the Personal Protective Equipment online course will move on to how to use, fit and wear PPE and understand its physical and theoretical limitations.

Personal Protective Equipment Target Audience

This online Personal Protective Equipment e-learning course is primarily aimed at people who work in industries such as construction where they are likely to need to use a wide range of PPE daily. 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 Personal Protective Equipment 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.

Personal Protective Equipment Advantages

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.

CPD approval means that this course can be used by those that need to prove they are continually developing themselves.

Online training is flexible, efficient, and cost-effective, meaning the candidate can progress through the modules at their own pace and in their own time to fit the training in around their work and personal life.
