    Personal Protective Equipment Indian Standards

    Uploaded by

    Noor Muddassir Khan
    Personal protective equipment such as helmets, hearing and eye protection, respirators, gloves, protective clothing, and fall arrest equipment require regular replacement to maintain effectiveness. Replacement frequencies vary from annually to manufacturer recommendations, depending on the equipment and standards. Damage, embrittlement from chemicals or UV exposure, and permeability breakthrough for gloves may also trigger the need for replacement before the scheduled time period. Proper maintenance and replacement are necessary to provide continued protection for workers.
