Document background
The PPE Risk Assessment is a crucial workplace safety document required by Nigerian occupational health and safety regulations, particularly under the Factories Act Cap F1 LFN 2004. This document becomes necessary when organizations need to evaluate and document their workplace hazards and establish appropriate personal protective equipment requirements. The assessment addresses specific workplace risks, details required protective measures, and establishes protocols for PPE selection, use, and maintenance. It serves as both a compliance document and a practical guide for implementing safety measures, requiring regular updates to reflect changing workplace conditions or new safety requirements. The PPE Risk Assessment must be conducted by qualified personnel and should be reviewed periodically to ensure continued effectiveness and compliance with Nigerian safety standards.
