EDITORS VOICE


Hello and welcome to the annual PPE Supplement 2025/2026.


Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) should always be considered a last line of defence against workplace hazards. According to guidance from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), employers are legally required to provide PPE at no cost whenever a risk assessment identifies it as necessary. While other control measures should be prioritised first, such as eliminating or reducing risks at the source, PPE remains a critical component in ensuring worker safety when the remaining hazards cannot be fully controlled.


Given its importance, it is vital that both employers and employees stay informed about the latest developments in PPE. This includes understanding the full range of equipment available, recent innovations, and how proper selection, use, and maintenance of PPE can significantly enhance workplace health and safety.


This supplement is designed to provide exactly that: clear, up-to-date information to help organisations make informed decisions about PPE and foster safer working environments for everyone involved.


Enjoy the read.
