Health and Safety Law 2024 (October 2024)

HSE guidance makes clear that employers must select equipment that suits the worker and consider the size, fit, compatibility and weight of the PPE and the physical characteristics of the user. It also advises employers that any PPE they provide pregnant workers with will be safe and comfortable for them to use, especially as their pregnancy progresses.
