Employees are responsible to use PPE appropriate and as instructed by employer. An employee has to check PPE before and after use and have to report any damage. Ensuring employees who store and handle dangerous substances are properly trained.

There is a duty on employees, having regard to their training and instructions, to make correct use of PPE. Employees should use PPE properly whenever it is required to be used. Report any defects in or damage to the PPE immediately.

Most PPE is provided on a personal basis, but may be shared by employees, for example where it is only required for limited periods. When shared, employers need to ensure such equipment is properly cleaned and, where required, decontaminated to ensure there are no health risks to the next person using it.

Personal protective equipment (PPE) is protective clothing, helmets, goggles, or other garments or equipment designed to protect the wearer's body from injury or infection. The hazards addressed by protective equipment include physical, electrical, heat, chemicals, biohazards, and airborne particulate matter.
