Explanation: Whilst not an exhaustive list as all PPE provided should be identified in the risk assessments. We’d expect to see this kind of PPE because:
- The angle grinder or metal could become hot and have sharp edges requiring gloves. The gloves could also be used to minimize the effects of vibration.
- The noise emitted could require hearing protection.
- Eye and feet safety is required as there might be metal particles or fragments that could dislodge and fly towards the eyes or feet causing damage.
- Protective clothing should be considered if there is a risk of sparks which could ignite other pieces of clothing. Loose clothing shouldn’t be worn as it could get trapped.
