Abstract The second editon of L25 provides guidance on the Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations 1992, which came into force in 1993. Since then, they have been amended by the Police (Health and Safety) Regulations 1999, the Health and Safety (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2002 and the Ionising Radiations Regulations 1999. This new version sets out the changes to regulations 3, 4, 6 and 9, supported by new guidance, and also reflects the latest developments in most personal protective equipment (PPE). Part 1 sets out the Regulations, followed by guidance on each regulation. Part 2 provides more details on the types of PPE available, hazards that may require PPE to be used and advice on selection, use and maintenance. The guidance deals with head, eye, foot, hand and arm protection and protective clothing for the body, as well as fall-protection systems and drowning protection. Contents: Introduction; Part 1: Guidance on the Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations 1992; Part 2: Selection, use and maintenance of personal protective equipment.
