Personal Protective Equipment: your safety at work in the healthcare sector

Your safety is our priority.

In every work environment, and particularly in the healthcare sector, protecting the health and safety of workers is a fundamental value. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) represents the first line of defense against work-related risks, ensuring effective and comfortable protection for those who work in hospitals, clinics and during assistance activities.

PPE: an investment in your health

PPE is not a simple accessory, but a real investment in your health and well-being. Choosing the right PPE means preventing injuries, occupational illnesses and long-term damage, protecting your body and your ability to work efficiently in the healthcare sector.

A PPE for every risk

There are different types of PPE, each designed to protect against specific work risks in the healthcare sector:

• Work helmets: to protect the head from impacts and falling objects during assistance operations.
• Protective glasses: to protect the eyes from dust, splinters and dangerous materials.
• Earing protection: to protect hearing in noisy work environments, such as operating rooms or emergency departments.
• Respiratory masks: to filter air contaminated by dust and chemicals used in healthcare processes.
• Shoes safety: to protect your feet from crushing and punctures, which are essential in environments where heavy loads are handled.
• Safety clothing: to protect your body from hazards such as flames, heat and chemicals.

Choosing the right PPE

Choosing the right PPE depends on a number of factors, including the type of work you do, the risks in your workplace and your specific healthcare needs. It is important to consult your employer, healthcare provider or a safety expert to determine the right PPE for you.

Using PPE correctly

In addition to choosing the right PPE, using it correctly is essential to ensure maximum protection. Following the manufacturer's instructions, wearing PPE appropriately and maintaining it in good condition are essential aspects for effective use, especially in a dynamic environment such as healthcare.

PPE: a duty for everyone

The use of PPE is an obligation for all workers, pursuant to the Consolidated Law on Safety at Work (Legislative Decree 81/2008). The employer is required to provide workers with adequate PPE and train them on its correct use, ensuring a safe and protected work environment.

Choose the right PPE and protect your safety at work in the healthcare sector.
