Workwear & PPE

Personal protective equipment norms for cleaners

What to issue

  • Gloves

    Nitrile/latex for chemicals, cotton for dry cleaning. Change between zones (restrooms separately!).

  • Workwear

    Branded uniform, closed non-slip shoes. For industrial cleaning — hi-vis vests.

  • Respiratory

    FFP2 respirators for aerosols, powdered chemicals, post-renovation work.

  • Goggles

    Safety goggles when diluting concentrates and handling alkalis/acids.

  • Training

    Safety briefing before work, signed in the log; chemical labels in Ukrainian.

Employer must issue PPE free and keep issuance records. Chemicals with pictograms (corrosive, irritant) require protection per the SDS card. Labour-inspection fines for missing PPE fall on the employer.
