Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
The nature of general labour work is very physical, it is compulsory that general labourers wear personal protective equipment. Labour hire companies have their general labourers on farm sites that can be hazardous, so PPE is required in order to minimise the risks to the health of workers and help keep them safe whilst on the job. Examples of Personal Protective Equipment include steel-capped boots, caps, high visibility vests, face masks, safety glasses and so on.
General labourers may be expected to provide their own PPE, so it is recommended that they ask their employer what will and won’t be provided in order to ensure that no vital pieces of equipment are missing.
