Irbid, Aug. 19 (Petra) –Irbid Chamber of Industry (ICI) wrapped up a
specialized training program on personal protective equipment (PPE),
held at Al-Hasan Industrial Estate in cooperation with the German
Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ)-funded “Employment in
Jordan 2030” project.

The sessions saw participation from representatives of 14 industrial
companies.

supervisors, occupational safety specialists, operations managers and
engineers, and covered types and uses of personal protective
equipment, risk-assessment methods, and selecting equipment suited to
specific job hazards.

errors in PPE use and ways to strengthen compliance with wearing
protective equipment AT industrial facilities, aimed to ensure the
“highest” levels of worker protection.

help raise facility efficiency, improve working conditions, and
reduce the risk of workplace accidents and injuries.

organizations for the industrial sector, mainly GIZ, in delivering
targeted programs that meet needs of industrial facilities.
