Top Five PPE Mistakes

I've been spending a lot of time with PPE recently and ran across this discussion of the Top Five PPE Mistakes published in Incident Prevention Magazine. It is written by Hugh Hoagland, who passes on his extensive experience with PPE. His list of top five PPE mistakes is:

1. PPE Isn't Worn

2. FR Is Not FR All The Time

3. Using FR Rainwear Rather Than ARC Thermal Resistant Rainwear

4. Using non-FR jackets and winter wear over FR and thinking it is OK

5. No training on undergarments
