Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for Electricians: A Guide Every UK Trainee Should Know

Electrical PPE essentials โ€“ gloves, goggles, and hearing protection

Electrical safety doesnโ€™t just start with a good set of toolsโ€”it starts with wearing the right protection. Whether you’re rewiring a socket in a domestic home, testing live panels in a commercial building, or troubleshooting high-voltage equipment, the risks can be life-threatening. Thatโ€™s where PPEโ€”Personal Protective Equipmentโ€”comes in. As an experienced electrician and now a lecturer, Iโ€™ve seen firsthand how proper PPE has prevented injuries and saved lives. In this guide, Iโ€™ll walk you through everything you need to know about PPE in the electrical trade, especially if you’re currently in training or considering an electrical career. We’ll cover standards, legal responsibilities, task-specific gear, and how to build lifelong habits that will keep you and your team safe on site.
