Press Release Body = Fast Track: tracking the market for personal protective equipment

Some 2.2 mn people worldwide die of work-related accidents and diseases each year,
according to the International Labour Office (ILO). However, the ILO points out that
this figure may be vastly underestimated due to poor reporting in some countries. In
an attempt to reduce the number of deaths, most countries have legislation covering
health and safety at work. In many cases, such legislation specifies the use of
personal protective equipment (PPE).

Personal protective equipment (PPE) covers all equipment, including apparel, which
is intended to protect the wearer against one or more health or safety risks. Items
which come under the PPE remit include many types of protective garment such as body
suits and armour, as well as eye protection, footwear, gloves, harnesses, helmets
and highvisibility apparel.

The main users of PPE are organisations operating in the following sectors:
construction; emergency services; manufacturing and engineering; petrochemicals; and
utilities. All such organisations require their workers to be exposed to potentially
harmful situations or hazards.
