PPE Essentials

PPE is the shorthand way of saying personal protective equipment. That means the safety equipment you might use at work, like hard hats, those luminous wellies, and even ear plugs.

It’s not just designed to make you look cool. Or at all, for that matter. It’s there to keep you safe around the workplace. This course has been designed to tell you all about it, as well as helping you stay compliant with current health and safety regulations. All pretty important stuff, we think you’ll agree.

When considering how best to represent PPE, our thoughts immediately went to the king of PPE, one of those superheroes we’re so fond of, iAM Man! He’s literally wrapped in the stuff. Of course, in real life, it’s less shiny, but it’s usually pretty high-vis. Using characters that people like puts learners at ease, and lets us inject an otherwise dry H&S subject with some much needed fun. And because it’s an IOSH approved course, you know it’s good!

With a combination of fantastic animation, interactive sections where the learner can slow down to take things at their own pace, and a large bank or rotating questions, learners are engaged throughout. The course also contains knowledge checks, including interactive drag and drop sections. These help with knowledge retention and increase pass rates, because learners must actually understand the subject, rather than simply answering through trial and error.
