Personal protective equipment refers to tools, devices, clothing and materials designed to be worn, worn, or worn by employees to protect against one or more health and safety risks.

In general, it is essential to take technical measures, to organize the work organization and to determine the working methods in the workplaces to prevent or at least reduce the negative effects of possible risks. However, if the risks in the workplace cannot be prevented despite these considerations, employees are required to use some personal protective materials. This regulation regulates the characteristics, supply, use and related issues of personal protective equipment.
