 PPE deviation & Risk
PPE

8.6 Assessing the Risk

If identified through thorough written RA/JSA by the local site management

that Personal Protective Equipment constitutes a greater burden to safety
they may be removed for a limited period specified and communicated by the
management team during a toolbox talk.

Some examples of this are when constantly looking up using safety glasses
and the rain obscures vision, or when using a tag line to control the load and
the ground is wet and muddy, suitable waterproof boots could be worn
instead of safety boots.

This agreed local decision must be recorded on file and reviewed at regular
intervals throughout the working day.

Any deviation from the PPE requirements above must be documented in a

RA/JSA.
Under no circumstances can a person be exposed to a significant risk by the
removal of any previously identified PPE.
