PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT – POLICY STATEMENT.
The purpose of the Personal Protective Equipment Policy is to protect the employees of JOZA GLOBAL LOGISTICS LIMITED from exposure to work place hazards and the risk of injury through the use of personal protective equipment (PPE). PPE is not a substitute for more effective control methods and its use will be considered only when other means of protection against hazards are not adequate or feasible.

- Provide personal protective equipment for use and maintain it when it has been determined that its use is required to ensure the safety and health of our employees and that such use will lessen the likelihood of occupational injury and/or illness.
- Conduct workplace hazard assessments to determine the presence of hazards which necessitate the use of PPE.
