Refer to Clause 15 of the Regulation for specific requirements in relation to PPE.
 
If an employer is using PPE to control risks, the employer must:

• determine if PPE is the most appropriate control, based on the risk management process
• provide or pay for all PPE for every person at risk
• ensure the PPE is appropriate for each particular hazard in the workplace
• ensure the PPE is appropriate for each particular worker and controls the risk for that person
• provide or arrange instruction and training for all workers using PPE (including informing the person using PPE of its limitations)
• provide additional training for supervisors so they understand their role in enforcing the use of PPE
• ensure PPE conforms to the relevant Australian Standard
• enforce the uniform and proper use of PPE by affected staff
• ensure the equipment is provided in a clean and hygienic condition to the person
• ensure that PPE is maintained, repaired or replaced regularly or where necessary
• provide appropriate storage for PPE and ensure the PPE is stored in that place
• individually issue PPE where necessary
• Clearly identify areas in places of work where PPE must be used.

Note: PPE includes any substances used to protect health (such as sun protection cream).
