Amends/Commences: Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993

Comes into force: 21st October 2024

Jurisdiction: Northern Ireland

Employers must provide appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), free-of-charge, to all workers who work for them under contract, such as freelancers, contractors and agency workers, and not only employees. Previously, the Regulations only required PPE to be provided to employees.

Minor technical changes are made updating references to current legislation and making the Regulations gender neutral.
