An honest look at why people don’t wear PPE
Attendees of the Health & Safety Event are also warmly invited to join uvex in the Practical Safety Theatre at 2pm on Tuesday 28th April as uvex PPE expert Rob Jones takes a candid look at one of the biggest challenges in workplace safety: why people still don’t wear their PPE.
In this insightful session, Rob will uncover the real reasons behind PPE non-compliance and explore what organisations can actually do about it. A key focus will be the critical role that fit and wearability play in whether PPE is used properly, or ignored. If you’re responsible for sourcing PPE that works for real people, don’t miss this session which will give you the insights you need.
