Work clothing and personal protective equipment

• Work clothing must be used in production, storage, maintenance and laboratory tasks.
• Protective equipment is meant for personal use.
• Treat the personal equipment you are issued with carefully and keep it in good condition.
• Report any faults or deficiencies you observe in your equipment to your employer without delay.

The minimum requirements for the use of protective equipment in all production areas are set out in guidelines as follows (basic equipment): helmet, appropriate clothing, work gloves and safety footwear. There are also safety rules/instructions in force at the site area which stipulate the use of other protective equipment in addition to basic equipment.
