Mandatory use of PPE

Workers must be trained to wear the right personal protective equipment when operating heavy equipment, including hard hats, eyewear, gloves and steel-toed boots. Certain sites also require ear protection to protect workers from prolonged exposure to loud noise due to the equipment in use. Other protective gear includes visibility clothing, fall protection equipment, and breathing apparatuses around dust and contaminants. It must be noted that protective equipment should be mandated at sites. Moreover, workers must be trained never to ignore their seatbelt. Seatbelts can save operators if the heavy equipment tips over or in case of severe bangs and jostle, especially considering that most of the accidents at site are due to preventable human errors.
