Abstract

The laws on workplace safety and in particular the DLgs. 81/08, contemplate an organisation which firstly promotes collective protection measures and elimination of any type of risk. The use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is therefore always secondary to the correct implementation of all possible technical and organisational procedures. DLgs 81/08 establishes that PPE must be in accordance with DLgs 475/92, with DM 02.05.01 and UNI rules. Regulation 453/2010 (REACH), requires the contents of the safety data of dangerous substances. Given this complexity, the evaluation of the correct adoption and use of PPE is particularly challenging. In order to assist controlling activities, a document has been written containing the main guidelines. A first draft of the document was approved by the Committee of Directors of the SPRESAL of the "Regione Lazio" in 2008. The evolution of regulations and the need to make further improvements have made it necessary to draw up a new version to improve supervision in the workplace.
