3.4.12 Personal Protective Equipment
The wearing of personal protective equipment is an important safety measure. Missing or
unsuitable personal protective equipment increases health risks and injuries.
Personal protective equipment is for example:
– Suitable protective gloves
– Safety boots
– Tight-fitting protective clothing
– Hearing protection
– Protective goggles
• Specify and provide personal protective equipment for the particular job.
• Use only personal protective equipment which is in proper condition and offers effective
protection.
• Adjust personal protective equipment to the person, for example the size.
• Remove unsuitable clothing and jewellery (e.g. rings, necklaces) and cover long hair with a
hairnet.
Wear suitable clothing
Loose clothing increases the risk of it becoming caught or wrapped around rotating parts and of
it becoming caught on protruding parts. As a result, people may be seriously injured or killed.
• Wear tight-fitting clothing.
• Never wear rings, chains or other items of jewellery.
• Cover long hair with a hairnet.
• Wear sturdy shoes or protective work boots.
3.4.13 Safety signs on the machine

• Make sure every time after cleaning the safety labels that they are complete and legible.
• Replace missing, damaged and unrecognisable safety labels immediately.
• Provide spare parts with intended safety labels.
