This article is for the person responsible for recording and issuing personal protective equipment (PPE).
Why is Tracking Protective Equipment Important?
Maintaining accurate records of work equipment is crucial for every company. Without proper tracking, equipment can easily be lost, devalued, or not used effectively. By tracking PPE, you get a clear list of the work equipment used and its quantity in circulation.
- Prevent losses
- Reduce "constantly searching for who has what"
Not just passive tracking, but complete information on the current status
- Get a central list of protective equipment
- You'll have assignment information (who is using what work equipment)
- Get an overview of the issued and total available quantity
