Personal Protective Equipment Selection and Management

Personal protective equipment programmes often fail quietly through the wrong glove for the chemical in use, a respirator issued without a fit test, or a replacement schedule nobody tracks. This course builds a defensible selection process linked to risk assessment, covers fit testing and inspection routines, and addresses the supply chain and budget issues that undermine compliance on real sites.
