PPE – Definition and Automated Dispensing
PPE (personal protective equipment) is mandatory in many industries – automated dispensing via smart locker guarantees availability and traceability.
What PPE covers
PPE (personal protective equipment) refers to clothing and equipment protecting workers from job-related hazards – from helmets to safety glasses to safety shoes. In many industries its use is legally required.
Automated dispensing systems ensure PPE is always available, issuance is documented and consumption stays under control.
Advantages of automated PPE dispensing
- 24/7 availability outside issue counter hours
- Traceable assignment per employee
- Automatic reorder at defined minimum stock
- Reduced consumption and theft
