Ans:-

After ERIC only PD – That means after trying to eliminate or avoid hazards, reduce or substitute work or material by less hazardous means like using low voltage tools, isolate or contain hazards like guarding machines etc., and controlling hazards through engineering and management ways, we should try to use PPE as an additional control measure not the primary one. First Safe place and then the safe person.

It is a legal requirement that other means of controls are considered first. PPE may not provide adequate protection because of poor selection, poor fit, and incompatibility with other types of PPE, contamination and misuse or non-use by employees. PPE is likely to be uncomfortable and relies for its effectiveness on a conscious action by the user. Its use can actually create additional risks (for instance, warning sounds masked by hearing protection).
