PPE rules by country

Employers in the markets below are expected to provide suitable PPE and, in several cases, to know what was issued. KitSteward helps you keep the request, the approval, and the issue record. It does not certify compliance.

Training, competency, and fit-testing are out of scope. Where a regulation includes those duties, they remain yours.
