I think there different points shall be considered when taking about the non-compliance of PPE use at workplace, mainly; form my point of view that the main issues as I faced at my work place are the following:

  • Too hot
  • Not available near the work task
  • Poor fit
  • Unattractive looking

The issue of PPE comfort came to the fore again when we were asked what suppliers could do to improve their offerings.  The number one selection was to “provide more comfortable PPE,” followed by:

  • Providing more instruction on the proper use of PPE
  • Reducing prices
  • Providing greater size selection
  • Offering more stylish PPE

I wish this breifly answer your question Sir,

 

Regards

PPE non compliance in the work place is a major issue due to complacency on the part of the personnel who feel they are used to the system, no cause for alarm and an accident will not occur.
