Minimising Risk Using PPE Induction Training

Minimising Risk Using PPE Induction Training
Protect yourself. Protect others. PPE is your frontline defence.
Every day, workers across Australia rely on Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to prevent injuries, reduce exposure to hazards, and ensure safe outcomes in high-risk environments. Whether it’s a construction site, manufacturing floor, warehouse, or service environment, PPE plays a critical role in minimising risk.
But PPE only works if it's understood, used correctly, and maintained properly.
The Minimising Risk Using PPE Induction Training course has been developed to give workers a clear understanding of what PPE is, when and why it’s used, and what their responsibilities are when using it. This course supports safer workplaces by helping individuals recognise the purpose of PPE and develop consistent, compliant habits from day one.
What You’ll Learn
This course provides straightforward, practical information about how PPE fits into a wider risk management approach — and how to ensure it actually protects you the way it’s meant to.
You’ll learn:
-
What Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is and how it reduces exposure to workplace hazards
-
When PPE is suitable for use — and when it’s not a substitute for other control measures
-
Who is responsible for providing, maintaining, and replacing PPE
-
Your responsibilities as a worker when it comes to using PPE correctly
-
The types of common PPE found in industrial environments, including gloves, goggles, respirators, hard hats, hi-vis clothing, and hearing protection
This course helps you not only understand the “what” — but also the “why” and “how” of safe PPE use.
Why This Training Matters
Even with engineering controls, safe systems of work, and supervision in place, risks can remain — and that’s where PPE comes in. But PPE is only effective when workers understand how to wear it properly, when to use it, and how to inspect and care for it.
Too often, injuries happen not because PPE wasn’t available — but because it wasn’t used correctly, was worn inconsistently, or wasn’t maintained. This course is designed to stop that from happening.
As an induction-level training, it builds a strong foundation in risk awareness and personal responsibility, helping to reduce incidents and keep everyone on site safer.
Who This Course Is For
This course is designed for all new workers, contractors, or team members in industries where PPE is required as part of routine safety. It’s particularly relevant for:
-
Construction and civil workers
-
Factory and warehouse workers
-
Maintenance and trades personnel
-
Logistics and transport staff
-
Cleaning and hygiene workers
-
Labour hire and temp staff
-
Site supervisors onboarding new employees
It’s also ideal for existing employees who need a refresher in PPE use and compliance.
No prior training is needed — this course is designed to be clear, accessible, and suitable for any level of experience.
Course Format and Delivery
The course is delivered fully online, allowing learners to complete the training at their own pace, from any location, and on any device.
Course features include:
-
Interactive modules with images and video
-
Clear explanations of PPE categories and usage
-
Workplace-relevant examples and scenarios
-
A short multiple-choice assessment at the end
Participants who complete the course successfully will receive a Certificate of Completion, which can be used as part of onboarding records or safety compliance documentation.
What You’ll Walk Away With
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
-
Define what PPE is and its role in risk management
-
Identify common workplace hazards where PPE is needed
-
Recognise when PPE should be used — and its limitations
-
Understand who is responsible for PPE provision and upkeep
-
Demonstrate safe, compliant behaviour regarding PPE use
-
Contribute to a safer work environment by setting the right example
You’ll not only meet your basic safety requirements — you’ll set the standard for proactive personal risk management.
