Global Health and Safety E-Learning specialists, EssentialSkillz, have launched a new interactive PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) course in their unique, editable format. 
The company provides interactive E-Learning for Health and Safety and HR. The addition of PPE E-Learning to their course library increases the number of courses available to 23.
The course is aimed at all employees from the workshop floor up. As with all EssentialSkillz E-Learning, the course is fully editable, using the authoring tool integrated into the LMS, O-LAS.
The course includes an editable self test and can have an employee risk assessment attached to it using the built in assessment tool, O-LAS Assess.
Managing Director, Julian Roberts, commented:
"We are constantly developing new courses and a good, up to date, PPE course is the perfect addition to our range. We are the only supplier able to offer such a wide range of courses in a completely editable format and this new PPE course sets new standards for the health and safety E-Learning industry".
The course is designed to assist with meeting the requirements of the Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations 1992 and an employer's duties concerning the provision and use of PPE in the workplace.
The training course teaches employees:
• The range and uses of PPE items available
• The correct use, maintenance and storage of PPE
• The importance of reporting defective or damaged items of PPE
