The management hierarchy has a supervisory role. Employees are required to use the provided protection, which must always comply with European standards. The prevention hierarchy must be followed: <strong>eliminate the risk at its source, then apply CPE, and only as a last resort use PPE.<\/strong>   <\/p><p>A regular maintenance schedule and an up-to-date inventory of available CPE and PPE are necessary to ensure effectiveness. Additionally, collecting feedback from employees about the usability of the equipment is wise and can inform future improvements.
