Personal protective equipment (PPE) is anything a worker uses or wears to keep them healthy and safe.
The person conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU) gives PPE to workers, unless their labour hire company or agency already gave it to them. Workers must use their PPE as instructed by their PCBU.

SWA is not a regulator and cannot advise you about WHS issues in the workplace. If you need help please contact your state or territory work health and safety authority.
