Description

Personal Protective Equipment, or PPE, is equipment that protects workers against health and safety risks.

Unlike other safety systems, PPE only protects the individual using it and is designed to protect against specific risks.

PPE, you may encounter includes safety helmets, gloves, safety boots, eye protection, high-visibility clothing, weatherproof clothing and safety harnesses.

Not all protective items are classified as PPE.

Ordinary working clothes, uniforms and clothing provided for hygiene purposes are not included in the definition.

Portable safety devices for detecting and signalling risk, for example personal gas detectors, are also not considered PPE.

Who is this course for?

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
