Personal Protective Equipment: your safety at work in municipalities and provinces

Your safety is our priority.

In every work environment, and in particular in the municipal and provincial 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 public offices, municipal services and during maintenance operations.

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 diseases and long-term damage, protecting your body and your ability to work efficiently in the municipal and provincial sector.

A PPE for every risk

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

• Work helmets: to protect the head from impacts and falling objects during maintenance operations.
• Protective glasses: to protect your eyes from dust, splinters and dangerous materials.
• Earing protection: to protect your hearing in noisy work environments, such as construction sites and maintenance activities.
• Respiratory masks: to filter air contaminated by dust and chemicals used in services municipal.
• Safety shoes: to protect your feet from crushing and punctures, essential in work environments where heavy materials are handled.
• Safety clothing: to protect your body from risks such as flames, heat and chemicals.

Choosing the right PPE

Choosing the right PPE depends on several factors, including the type of work performed, the risks present in the work environment and your specific needs in the municipal and provincial sector. It is important to consult your employer, the competent doctor or a safety expert to identify the PPE that best suits your needs.

Use PPE correctly

In addition to choosing the right PPE, it is essential to use it correctly 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 that of municipalities and provinces.

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.
