Personal Protective Equipment

Managing PPE Is Not (Just) Handing Out Helmets and Gloves

Personal Protective Equipment is the last safety barrier for nuclear workers.

But once distributed, it often disappears from oversight:

• Helmets not replaced after expiry,
• Harnesses without periodic checks,
• No proof of distribution or compliance,
• Confusion over who has what, and in what condition,
• Paper records scattered and unusable.

And in case of an incident? Proving that equipment was suitable, compliant, and correctly allocated becomes a challenge.

Common field problems

• No traceability of PPE by person, team, or site
• No link between equipment and compliance documents
• Difficulty tracking expiry dates (helmets, harnesses, specialist gloves…)
• Manual, unlogged assignments
• Equipment lost, not returned, or misused
• Time-consuming audits with no accessible evidence
