wearer.
· It is ineffective if not
working or fitted properly
· Theoretical levels of
protection are seldom reached in practice.
· The use of PPE always
restricts the wearer to some degree.
· The psychological effect
of PPE may be such that the individual wearing the PPE feels more protected
than he or she actually is.

Engineering or Administrative control-methods that employers can implement to
reduce or eliminate a particular workplace hazard- must always be considered
first when evaluating and mitigating workplace hazards.

adversely affect the performance of tasks being undertaken (e.g. restricting
vision or mobility)
· PPE may be
uncomfortable to wear and some workers may not be able to wear it (e.g. workers
who are allergic to latex cannot wear rubber gloves)
· ongoing supervision is
required to ensure the PPE is being used correctly, and
· PPE may create new
hazards (for example some items of PPE can hinder the body’s natural cooling
mechanisms by preventing evaporation of perspiration).
