Dealing with residual risk: PPE


In the working environment, risks and hazards must be managed with protocols designed to minimise them.

The employer must assess all risks in the company to ensure that each risk factor can be eliminated or, if not possible, minimised.

 

How to deal with residual risk?

Residual Risk is the risk that remains after the application of the prevention and protection measures adopted by the employer, the latter being considered as actions to reduce the Initial Risk.

In presence of Residual Risk, the law requires the use of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment)

Within the law, "PPE" is understood to be any device or product intended to be worn or held by a person so that they are protected against one or more risks that could endanger their health and safety.

 

 

Personal protective equipment differs mainly according to the type of protection provided: protection for the respiratory tract, eyes, hands, etc.


However, each piece of PPE has specific minimum requirements and obligations, both for the employer and the worker.


It is in the field of Personal Protective Equipment that BLS comes to your side, to protect you while you do the most important thing there is: breathing.

 

Stay informed, stay safe.

What are the differences between these three types of protective facemasks?Surgical masks are medical devices that are used to protect ourselves and others. In fact, they block the propagation of droplets emitted orally when coughing and sneezing, or simply speaking. Nevertheless, they do not guarantee the blocking of the virus dispersed in aerosols as they are not leak-proof on the user’s face and do not have a filtering function during inhalation.
