Proper Fit is Required-Not Optional
PPE is issued to protect you—and it works best when it fits correctly for the job you’re doing.
If your body has changed and your required gear no longer fits as intended, the right next step is a clear review—not a workaround.
This page helps you document what’s changed so your supervisor, safety team, or purchasing team has what they need to evaluate and act.
Why this matters
Proper fit is part of effective PPE use. When fit changes, it can affect how the gear performs, how it feels to wear, and how consistently it’s used.
Most companies already have processes for reviewing PPE issues—this simply helps you provide the right information upfront so it can be addressed efficiently.
What to do
Get the PPE Fit Document below to clearly document:
- What PPE no longer fits as intended
- What tasks you’re performing when the issue shows up
- What changes when sizing up or adjusting standard gear
- What you are requesting (review of properly fitting PPE)
Then share it with your supervisor, safety manager, HR, or purchasing contact—whoever handles PPE at your site.
