Effective Use of PPE
That's why we developed the Effective Use of PPE safety course — a surprisingly engaging (yes, really!) training experience designed to help you safeguard every part of yourself. Don't want to deal with wood chips in your eyes? We’re here to make sure you won’t have to. Want to keep your brain safely where it belongs? You’re in the right place.
Your body has a lot of moving parts, and chances are you’d like to keep all of them safe, sound, and in one piece. Nobody likes injuries, and stubbing a toe is painful enough. We don’t want you to experience anything worse.
That’s why we built the Effective Use of PPE course — a light-hearted but impactful way to teach you how to stay safe on the job. Think of it as an entertaining approach to personal safety, where you’ll actually enjoy learning how to avoid those painful eye injuries and other workplace hazards.
This isn’t just another boring safety training. The Effective Use of PPE course might sound traditional, but the delivery is anything but dull. We understand that staying safe shouldn’t mean suffering through a dry, monotone lecture. And we’re not interested in letting you hurt yourself just to escape the training videos — although that would be ironic.
So relax, grab a snack, and prepare to be surprised by how enjoyable safety education can be. Through our Effective Use of PPE video modules, you’ll learn how to protect yourself in ways that are both smart and entertaining. At The Jeff Havens Company, we’re committed to giving you real safety solutions — with a good dose of humor along the way.
Once this course is complete, you will have learned:
- How to choose the correct gloves and gear for hand safety.
- Proper methods to safeguard your knees when working in odd or low areas.
- Steps to prevent back injuries and when back support is essential.
- Why eye protection matters and how to address PPE that blocks your view.
- How to assess hearing risk and what protective gear prevents long-term damage.
- Why proper respiratory equipment matters — and why a regular face mask won’t cut it.
- What you need to know about head protection — and why it’s critical.
This course also covers the following topics:
Hand Protection
- This lesson explains easy, effective strategies to protect your hands — the body part most frequently injured on the job. You’ll explore glove types, learn about risk prevention in seconds, and find out what NOT to wear. Plus, a few fun distractions for your colleagues.
Knee Protection
- Yes, knees are strange-looking — but they’re important. This module covers the best ways to protect them and how to avoid making coworkers hate you in the process. A little silliness included, because safety doesn’t have to be boring.
Back Protection
- Back injuries are no joke. This video reviews how to correctly use back braces — and a few humorous examples of what *not* to do. You’ll also learn how to protect your back without any equipment, and get a reminder to avoid messing with anyone stronger than you.
Eye Protection
- Your eyes might get irritated from time to time — but they’re still worth protecting. Learn fun and effective tips for keeping your eyes safe on the job, and find out why this video might be more entertaining than your social feed.
Hearing Protection
- This module dives into how fast hearing loss can sneak up on you — and what you can do to prevent it. We’ll compare decibel levels and throw in a few unexpected lessons you’ll definitely want to remember.
Respiratory Protection
- You breathe all day — so why not breathe safely? Discover the correct masks and filters to use in different environments, from dusty to downright disgusting. Learn how to wear them the right way — and maybe a few fun tricks for passing time at work.
Head Protection
- This section is all about keeping your noggin safe. It’s not just about avoiding brain injuries — it’s also about staying warm and upright. Expect some wild visuals and a slightly messier take on headgear safety than you’re used to. Trust us, you’ll enjoy this one.
