One of a series of webinars covering the advanced skills in the more complicated areas of employers liability and responsibility for those at work.

Personal protective equipment is to be used as a last resort when all other approaches to controlling risk across the workplace have been exhausted. Nevertheless, it is one of the most common type of case that practitioners come across. In 2022 the remit of the regulations was extended to cover workers other than employees which will continue this trend.

This webinar will cover the knowledge you need to succeed in these cases:

• The scheme of the Personal Protective Equipment Regulations 1992
• Suitability and the role of the Personal Protective Equipment (Enforcement) Regulations 2018
• The changes to the Regulations from 6 April 2022 and the applicability to workers other than employees
• The key requirements of the regulations:
  • Suitability
  • Compatibility
  • Maintenance and availability
  • Information, instruction and training
• The role of risk assessment
• Practical matters and useful case law
