Frequently asked questions

Should employers charge workers for PPE?+

PPE should be provided free of cost. Some companies recover the cost of PPE that is deliberately damaged or not returned, as per a clear policy.

How often should safety shoes be replaced?+

It depends on usage and wear; many plants set a standard such as once a year and replace earlier if damaged. Record the due date on the register.

Do contractors' workers get PPE from the principal employer?+

The contract should state who provides PPE; the principal employer must still ensure no one works without suitable PPE on its premises.
