Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Management
All employers have duties concerning the provision and use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) at work – Normal business operations and through the outbreak of coronavirus.
PPE is equipment that will protect the user against health or safety risks at work. It can include items such as safety helmets, gloves, eye protection, high-visibility clothing, safety footwear and safety harnesses. It also includes respiratory protective equipment (RPE).
Keeping accurate records of issued RPE and PPE can be cumbersome and costly, especially when no common records are in place or updated.
The problem escalates when employers don’t provide the suitable and sufficient training and support as required under the ‘Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations’
This has been the main reason for us to design and develop new features to an already award winning tool – Safety PAL (PLAN ACT LEARN).
Not only will you increase your compliance with legislation and reduce the risk of insurance claims and breaches in health and safety, but directors will also love the cost savings Safety PAL will bring from a united suite of health and safety tools. Instead of today’s multiple management systems needing excessive resource and time in managing.
Not knowing can cost you!
Whether you run a small company in a single location, or operate multiple offices and sites, keeping a live and accurate record of who has been issued what RPE and PPE is a daily challenge.
A challenge which is commonly felt by businesses, and the common result is to over supply workers with all the RPE and PPE they want.
Since the introduction of our unique PPE Assessment and PPE Issuing tools, there is no longer a need to oversupply and spend essential budgets on uncontrollable stock levels while risking workers claims due to poor or even no personal PPE assessments.
PPE Records With Safety PAL
No matter where the worker is, local site/office, remote site or even working from home, our unique tools provide you with a perfect way to record the issuing of PPE. And because PPE assessments and issuing are part of one award winning platform, our interactive employees CPD (Continuing Professional Development) profiles are automatically updated, reducing your administration costs and management time.
A great tool for not only proving legal compliance, but for also reducing bottom line business costs.
Workers Assessments
Two very simple questions:
- Have you assessed every one of your workers in the use and care of their PPE correctly?
- Have you explained to each worker their responsibilities?
No!, these are two requirements your organisation has to complete in order to comply with the ‘Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations’
Safety PAL allows you to complete a PPE assessment for a new starter, review of an existing employee supporting his/her competence matrix or a change in an employees job role.
Their assessment is automatically added to their CPD (Continuing Professional Development) portal, along side their full record of PPE issued (and all other certificates, qualifications, safety videos watched etc).
All reports are accessible by management 24/7 365 days a year.
Why Safety PAL?
Here at Safety PAL, we are committed to providing you essential information and support for directors, managers and workers
We have provided all our clients essential health and safety support for over 6 years maintaining the same costs as of when we launched.
Costs are extremely important to every business and they can also create a burden in health and safety, as some directors will have a tendency to choose sales or marketing budgets over health and safety budgets.
This is why we have created a unique suite of tools, to provide you a single solution for storage, dissemination and 24/365 access of all your vital health and safety information.
The result is that directors benefit from a reduction of management costs, and the health and safety professional benefits from an effective tool for ensuring he/she has done so far as is reasonably practicable.
