It also affects safety, productivity and confidence at work.
In many workplaces, the personal protective equipment (PPE) supplied doesn’t reflect the full diversity of body types and needs. The result is protection that isn’t consistent across the workforce.
To help organizations address this issue, we’ve published a free companion guide to BS 30417 Provision of inclusive PPE. It’s designed to help you put the principles into practice in your own organization.
What the guide covers:
- Steps for selecting, issuing and reviewing inclusive PPE.
- How BS 30417 can be used in practice.
- A first‑person account illustrating the impact of poor‑fitting PPE.
- An implementation checklist and guidance for SMEs.
Whether you’re new to inclusive PPE or building on existing work, this guide gives you clear next steps you can apply in your organization.
