An employee who does not wear or use PPE, or intentionally misuses or damages it, may also face prosecution.

6. PROCESS
6.1 Risk Assessment
The requirement to wear or use PPE shall be determined by risk assessment in accordance with FLC’s Risk Management Procedure (FLC-IMS-PR-001). The Hierarchy of Risk Control Measures must be followed to manage risks to ALARP . Completely eliminating the risk at the source is always the preference to risk reduction.
Personal protective equipment (PPE) is one of the least effective ways of controlling risks to health and safety and should only be used:
■ When there are no other practical control measures available (as a last resort)
■ As an interim measure until a more effective way of controlling the risk can be used, or
■ To supplement higher level control measures (as a back-up).
This is emphasised in that the use of PPE can cause additional problems. It should be noted
