Protective Clothing

  • Appropriate protective clothing should be identified as part of the risk assessment process. Consideration needs to be given to the amount of clothing to allow for foreseeable conditions (e.g. rain and cold) but also allowing for transport limitations e.g. backpack capacity.
  • Specialist clothing may be needed for certain environments, examples are as follows:
weatherproof clothing cold/wet conditions
footwear walking boots
wet suits sailing/boating/canoeing
gloves wet/cold protection
thermal clothing cold conditions
head protection sun hats
