Do you use PPE only to comply with rules and regulations? Or do you use it as part of your routine to maximise safety? Do you make excuses for not wearing PPE? Or do you use PPE during all jobs?

If you are a leader, are you showing little involvement in ensuring that your crew is wearing PPE? Or do you set an example and encourage them to wear the appropriate PPE?
