The need for safety equipment when performing hazardous tasks is undisputed, yet U.S. workers continue to take risks by failing to wear personal protective equipment (PPE) when it is needed.
In a Kimberly-Clark Professional survey released today, 82 percent of safety professionals said they had observed workers in their organizations failing to wear required PPE during the past year. Respondents also cited compliance as the top workplace safety issue in their facilities—further underscoring the significance of these findings.
