FAQ
Frequently asked questions about the PPE toolbox talk
Who pays for PPE in the UK?
The employer. Under the Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations 1992, employers must provide suitable PPE free of charge and maintain, clean and replace it. Since the 2022 amendment, this duty also covers most casual (limb b) workers.
When does a worker have to wear PPE?
Whenever a risk remains after other controls, such as removing the hazard or engineering measures. The employer sets this out in the risk assessment, and a blue mandatory sign shows which PPE is required in that area.
Can I adapt the toolbox talk?
Yes. The PowerPoint is fully editable, so feel free to add photos of your own site, your PPE policy or your own QR code for attendance.
