Question

Medical surveillance in working place is warranted by law only if:

1. No hazardous substance is used
2. There are evidence or reason to suspect injury
3. Atmospheric monitoring is insufficient
4. Workers not wearing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Answer 1

Ans) Workers not wearing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Explaination:

- If any employee is refusing to wear PPE due to a sizing problem, comfort reasons, or a religious or medical issue, address it with them by acknowledging that you recognise this is a cause of frustration. Let them know that you would like their input to solve the problem and get adequate PPE sorted.

- While the Employment Act 1989 says that they do not have to wear the head protection, the exception only applies to the construction sites. If your workers refuse to wear the required Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), they should be re-deployed to a less the dangerous job or the area, or if necessary disciplined.
