This session will explore the critical role of fit and wearability in PPE adoption. While manufacturers are increasingly addressing these issues, many buyers attending the show are specifically tasked with sourcing appropriate or inclusive PPE and need practical insights. We’ll look at why poor fit leads to non-compliance, how wearability affects performance and safety, and what organisations can do to improve user acceptance. From gender-specific sizing to ergonomic design, this talk will help attendees understand how to specify PPE that workers actually want to wear.
