Good PPE station
- Date: 18/06/2012
This well laid out PPE station was found at the entrance to a locked chemical store on an entered vessel.
Locking the store promotes a change of thought before proceeding into the store at this point the crewman will be well aware of the PPE on entry to the store and will likely use it.
PPE should always be used when handling Chemicals.
