Personal protective equipment

PPE, or personal protective equipment, protects your employees from the risks associated with their activity. But how can you guarantee their effectiveness over time?

This equipment meets strict design, maintenance and regulatory compliance demanding. We support you in understanding these issues and choosing the right solutions for your specific protection needs.

Safety takes care of itself

Equipping for better protection: everything you need to understand about PPE clothing.

The choice of PPE clothing is essential to ensure the safety and performance of teams. In this webinar, our teams share their expertise to help you better understand regulatory obligations, workwear selection criteria and the importance of maintenance.

Risks and how to protect against them

Every working environment presents specific risks. Your employees may be exposed to:

Visibility risk - Lack of visibility on worksites, roads or traffic areas
Cold risk - Positive or negative cold
Mechanical risks - Shocks, falls, compression (example: knee hygroma)
Environmental risks - Weather, extreme climatic conditions
Chemical risks - Contact with chemical substances
Heat risks - Protection against brief, accidental flame contact
Welding risk - Projections of molten metal, heat and flame

We work with you to analyze the risks present in your work environment, and recommend the PPE best suited to each position. This personalized assessment guarantees effective protection for your teams and your regulatory compliance.

YOUR LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY WITH REGARD TO PPE

The French Labor Code imposes specific obligations on you with regard to your employees' PPE:

Supply and maintenance - You must supply PPE adapted to each position free of charge and guarantee their regular maintenance to maintain their protective effectiveness.

User training - You train your employees in the correct use of their PPE and the risks they protect against.

Signage - You install clear signage on your sites to remind people of risk areas and mandatory equipment.

Traceability and compliance - You can monitor the condition of your PPE and ensure that it complies with current standards.

These obligations are designed to protect your teams and protect you from potential liability in the event of an accident. We can support you in setting up a complete PPE management system: supply, certified maintenance, traceability and training.

Maintenance of PPE

Your protective equipment is made from specific technical materials: retroreflective fabrics, flame-retardant fibers, waterproof membranes.... These protective properties degrade if they are not properly maintained.

Why domestic maintenance puts your teams at risk

Inappropriate washing can cause your PPE to lose up to 60% of its protective effectiveness: degradation of high-visibility treatments, alteration of flame-retardant properties, loss of waterproofing. Your employees then wear equipment that no longer protects them effectively.
