A closer look
Techs skip PPE when it is uncomfortable or missing. Good-fitting gear stocked on every truck and leaders wearing it set the standard.
Where to start
List PPE by task and stock trucks accordingly.
An example
A company replaced uncomfortable glasses with better ones. Usage went up.
Common mistakes
Wrong sizes, no stock and managers ignoring rules.
What to track
Track PPE use and incidents.
Questions to ask
Is PPE comfortable? Is it stocked? Do leaders wear it?
Leadership sets the tone
Supervisors on ride-alongs should wear the same PPE and correct missing equipment immediately but respectfully. Consistency is what turns PPE into habit.
