When should personal protective equipment be inspected?

Personal protective equipment (PPE) should be inspected regularly, typically before each use, to ensure that it is in good condition, operational, and appropriate for the job at hand. Regular inspections help to identify any signs of damage, deterioration, or incorrect fit that could compromise the effectiveness of the PPE. Regular inspections also allow users to replace worn-out or defective equipment promptly, reducing the risk of injury or exposure to hazardous substances.
