It is important to ensure that the workwear is suitable for the user's activities and meets the standards. Employers are obliged to provide their employees with the necessary PPE and ensure that they know how to use and maintain it. However, simply providing the equipment is not enough: employees should be trained before use to recognize when PPE is needed to prevent injuries and accidents.
