Master PPE Selection & Use – Protect Your Workforce from Preventable Injuries
PITCKSA’s Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) training teaches workers and supervisors how to select, use, and maintain PPE correctly. Our TVTC-approved courses ensure compliance with Saudi labor law and prevent the most common workplace injuries.
We offer three specialized PPE courses – take individually or bundle all three:
Noise Protection & Hearing Conservation
Perfect for: Workers in noisy environments, factory supervisors, HSE managers
What You’ll Learn:
Understanding Noise Hazards:
- How the ear works and how noise damages hearing
- Decibel levels and exposure limits (Saudi OSHA standards)
- 85 dBA = mandatory hearing protection
- 90 dBA = engineering controls required
- Temporary vs. permanent hearing loss
- Recognizing signs of hearing damage (ringing, muffled sounds)
Types of Hearing Protection:
- Earplugs (foam, reusable, custom-molded)
- Earmuffs (passive, electronic)
- Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) explained
- When to use earplugs vs. earmuffs
- Double protection for extreme noise (110+ dBA)
Proper Use and Fit:
- Correct earplug insertion technique (most workers do it wrong!)
- Achieving proper seal with earmuffs
- Hygiene and maintenance
- Storage and replacement schedules
- Why proper fit matters: poorly fitted protection = no protection
Hearing Conservation Program:
- Workplace noise monitoring requirements
- Audiometric testing (baseline and annual)
- Administrative controls (rotating workers, limiting exposure time)
- Engineering controls (enclosures, barriers, equipment maintenance)
- Saudi labor law requirements for noise exposure
Heat and PPE in Saudi Climate:
- Managing heat stress while wearing earmuffs
- Alternatives for hot environments
- Hydration and rest break requirements
Assessment: Written quiz on noise hazards and hearing protection
Certification: TVTC Noise Protection Certificate
Duration: Half-day (3-4 hours)
Validity: 2 years
Eye Protection Safety Training
Perfect for: Workers exposed to eye hazards, maintenance technicians, welders, laboratory staff
What You’ll Learn:
Eye Hazard Types:
- Impact hazards: Flying debris, particles, chips
- Chemical hazards: Splashes, vapors, mists
- Radiation hazards: Welding, UV light, lasers, infrared
- Dust and sand: Particularly common in Saudi Arabia
- Biological hazards: Blood, body fluids (healthcare)
Types of Eye Protection:
- Safety glasses: Impact protection with side shields
- Safety goggles: Chemical splash protection (sealed)
- Face shields: Full-face protection (use WITH safety glasses)
- Welding helmets: Shade numbers for different welding types
- Laser safety glasses: Specific wavelength protection
- Prescription safety glasses options
Selecting Correct Eye Protection:
- Matching protection to hazard (critical skill)
- ANSI Z87.1 markings explained (impact ratings)
- Chemical splash vs. impact protection
- Welding shade number selection chart
- When face shield alone is NOT enough
Proper Use and Maintenance:
- Achieving proper fit and comfort
- Inspection for scratches, cracks, damage
- Cleaning and defogging techniques
- When to replace eye protection
- Storage to prevent damage
Emergency Response:
- What to do if chemical enters eye
- Emergency eyewash station use (15-minute flush)
- First aid for eye injuries
- When to seek medical attention immediately
Saudi Climate Considerations:
- Anti-fog coatings for hot, humid environments
- Dealing with sand and dust

Assessment: Practical demonstration of selecting and fitting eye protection
Certification: TVTC Eye Protection Certificate
Duration: Half-day (3-4 hours)
Validity: 2 years
Hand Protection Safety Training
Perfect for: All workers who use their hands, maintenance staff, chemical handlers, electricians
What You’ll Learn:
Hand Injury Statistics and Consequences:
- Why hands are most frequently injured
- Types of hand injuries and severity

CRITICAL: When NOT to Wear Gloves:
- Near rotating machinery (lathes, drills, grinders) = entanglement = amputation or death
- This is one of the most important safety lessons
Glove Selection Decision Tree:
- Identifying hand hazards in your job
- Matching glove type to hazard
- Understanding chemical permeation rates
- Dexterity requirements vs. protection level
- Grip requirements (dry, wet, oily surfaces)
- Size and fit importance
Proper Use and Limitations:

TVTC PPE certificates are valid for 2 years. We recommend refresher training every 2 years to maintain competency and stay current with new PPE technology and regulations.
Q.Do you provide actual PPE equipment for training?
For classroom training, yes – we bring various types of PPE for demonstration and hands-on practice. For on-site corporate training, we can use your company’s actual PPE or bring demonstration equipment. Either way, students see and handle real PPE.
Q. Which PPE training course do we need?
Depends on your workplace hazards:
- Noisy environment (85+ dBA)? Noise Protection
- Workers exposed to flying debris, chemicals, welding? Eye Protection
- Workers handle sharp objects, chemicals, heat? Hand Protection
