TU Dublin will ensure, in so far as is reasonably practicable, that the safety health and welfare of our employees is adequately protected. Where it is not possible to eliminate or reduce the risk through other means, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) appropriate to the task/work environment will be provided as an additional control measure.
TU Dublin is committed to:
• The provision of adequate and suitable PPE;
• Ensuring that PPE is used, maintained and replaced in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions;
• Ensuring that information is recorded to include supply of and training in the use of PPE as appropriate; and
• Ensuring that PPE is free of charge to employees.
On receipt of appropriate PPE, all employees are expected to:
- Use PPE correctly and whenever it is required.
- Report any defects in or damage to their PPE immediately.
- Participate in any training or instruction provided on the fitting, use and inspection of PPE.
- Inform of any medical conditions that may affect the correct use of the PPE provided.
- Look after PPE provided.
School/Function risk assessments identify the specific requirements for PPE in each area.
Students, visitors, and contractors/service providers are required to provide and maintain their own PPE.
