Introduction
Investing in Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is one of the smartest decisions a company can make. However, many organizations fall into common pitfalls during procurement, putting workers at risk and wasting resources. At Hands-On Facility Nigeria Limited, we help clients avoid these mistakes by supplying certified, reliable PPE.
Mistake 1: Choosing Price Over Quality
Cheap PPE may seem cost-effective, but it often fails when needed most. The true cost is accidents, downtime, and reputational damage.
Mistake 2: Ignoring Certification Standards
Non-certified products may not provide adequate protection. Always request certification documents before purchase.
Mistake 3: Buying PPE Without Considering Industry-Specific Needs
PPE must match the hazards of the work environment—what works for manufacturing may not work for oil & gas.
Mistake 4: Failing to Train Staff on Proper Use
Untrained staff may misuse or neglect PPE, reducing its effectiveness.
Mistake 5: Not Planning for Maintenance & Replacement
PPE has a lifespan. Companies must budget for periodic replacement to ensure ongoing safety.
Conclusion
Avoiding these mistakes ensures your organization maximizes its investment in safety. Hands-On Facility Nigeria Limited provides not just PPE but also expert support to help companies get it right.
