Overview
PPE is the last line of defence against workplace hazards, making proper issuance and maintenance critical. This module tracks PPE allocation to individual workers, manages stock levels, and schedules replacement based on wear or expiry.
Size management ensures workers receive properly fitting PPE, reducing rejection and improving protection effectiveness. Issue records document that required PPE has been provided, fulfilling the employer's duty whilst worker acknowledgment confirms receipt.
Automated reorder alerts prevent stock-outs of critical safety equipment. Cost tracking enables budget planning and identifies high-consumption areas requiring investigation. Integration with risk assessments ensures PPE specified in assessments is actually issued.
