Frequently asked questions about the Personal protection equipment category
What are personal protection equipment and what are they used for?
Personal protection equipment — items (respirators FFP1–FFP3, protective glasses, hard hats, ear defenders, gloves, etc.) designed to protect workers from injuries, noise, dust, chemicals and electric shock while performing tasks.
Which PPE is used in electrical installations and are there models for below and above 1000 V?
In electrical installations use insulating gloves, insulating mats, electrically-rated hard hats and protective eyewear; for below and above 1000 V choose PPE with appropriate electrical insulation ratings and certification from the manufacturer.
Which PPE against noise suits construction work?
For construction use foldable or over‑ear ear defenders with attenuation around 30–31 dB (e.g. 3M Optime-2 or 30.4 dB foldable models), or earplugs sized to the site noise level.
How to choose respiratory PPE: FFP1, FFP2 or FFP3?
Choose by exposure: FFP1 for low dust levels, FFP2 for medium dust, viral particles and mist, FFP3 for high concentrations of hazardous particles and aerosols. For oily aerosols or highly toxic particles select FFP3.
How often to replace respirators and masks?
Disposable FFP1–FFP3 respirators should be replaced when soiled, damaged or after a single shift; reusable models require filter changes per the manufacturer’s instructions and when filters show wear.
Which protective glasses for chemical and dust work?
Choose sealed protective glasses with side protection and anti‑fog coating for chemical and dust work; for splash hazards use gasketed models rated for chemical resistance.
Which hard hats and bump caps suit working at height?
For working at height choose CE‑rated hard hats with chin strap and accessory fittings; bump caps are for light bumps only and do not replace a hard hat where falling objects are a risk.
Which PPE accessories to buy (cleaning, fittings, covers)?
Recommended accessories: antiseptic wipes/sprays for masks and goggles, replacement filters for respirators, covers and lanyards for ear defenders, and helmet fittings/visor mounts.
How to choose PPE for working at height: harnesses, restraint systems, model differences?
Pick certified harnesses and restraint/anchorage systems rated for the user’s weight and job type; models differ by adjustment options, energy absorber presence and number/location of tool attachment points.
Which carbon monoxide and smoke detectors suit domestic use?
The category offers domestic CO detectors and combined 2‑in‑1 (CO+smoke) units, battery‑powered with up to 10 years life, audible alarm and LED indicators — suitable for home and site use.
