Under the Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations 1992, there are specific regulations imposed on both manufacturers and users of PPE. Users (employers) must assess employee's needs as to PPE, provide suitable and compatible PPE, maintain and replace it properly, provide employees with appropriate information and training and ensure its proper use by them. Certain items of PPE, e.g. ear protection, and certain respiratory equipment are subject to separate specific regulations.
