Steps to Create a PPE Matrix:
Identify Hazards: First, list all of the potential hazards in your workplace or surroundings (e.g., electrical shock, falling objects, chemical exposure).
Assess the Severity of Each Hazard: Determine how severe the consequence would be if the hazard occurs (e.g., minor injury, major injury, death).
Assess the Likelihood of Each Hazard: Estimate the likelihood of each hazard occurring (e.g., rare, occasional, likely, almost certain).
Determine the Necessary PPE: Based on the severity and likelihood of each hazard, decide what personal protective equipment is required for protection.
Review and Update Regularly: As new risks emerge or workplace conditions change, update the PPE matrix to ensure continued safety.
How to Use:
Review the matrix for each job/task. Assess the risks associated with that job. Select the correct PPE based on the risk assessment.
