Post subject:  Who launders the PPE?
Quite a few people have prompted me to ask this question as part of the "Question of the week".

Who is responsible for laundering the PPE?
  • Individual
  • Outside Service
  • Other

If you have a question that you would like to see asked here, send it in!

I am basically self employed, so it is my responsibility (to make sure my wife does it correctly).

It could be the Outside service or the Individual. If the Individual is responsible then they should have proper training on the care of the PPE.

The Employer is responsible, however we have that performed by an outside service, as well as I have sent helpers to the local laundrymat for the day to get some immidiate problems corrected.

I've seen companies do a better job having there floor mats cleaned than the electrical PPE. This has been a learning curve for us getting this established, as well as adaquate quantities of PPE to get the electricians to relinquish it for cleaning.

Talked with a large company that gave their employees an allowance for laundering their own PPE. A union concession. Who knows how or if they can enforce it.
