How to use it
- Count the número total of workers in project that need EPIs
- Determine the duración of the project in months to Calculate the recambios required
- Select the rate of project: renovation (risk estándar), structure (risk medium-high), tejado (risk high of caÃgives), demolición (risk máximo)
- Calculate the cost initial: nº workers × 45 € base × coeficiente of risk of the actividad
- Estimate the recambios: 10% of the cost initial per each month of project (cascos, guantes, mascarilthe desgastan)
- Review the listado of EPIs obligatorios: casco, guantes, calzado of safety, chaleco reflectante, protección auditiva and respiratoria según actividad
Common mistakes
- ⚠️ Not providing EPIs a all the workers: is obligación of the empresario según Ley of Prevención of Riesgos Laborales
- ⚠️ Use EPIs caducados: the cascos and arnes is tienen date of caducidad (5 years from fabricación)
- ⚠️ Not replacing EPIs dañados: a casco that ha recibido a impacto must sustituirse inmediatamente
- ⚠️ Forget EPIs especÃficos to tasks special: soldadura, corte, manejo of productos quÃmicos
- ⚠️ Comprar EPIs without marcado CE: must cumplir the Reglamento (UE) 2016/425
