PPE Register

The PPE Register records personal protective equipment issued to a person — what item, to what standard, when issued, and when it's due for replacement.

PPE that's past its replacement date is a control that looks like it's in place but may no longer actually be protective — a hard hat or harness with an expired service life doesn't stop being worn just because it's overdue. Tracking replacement due dates the same way as any other date-driven compliance deadline surfaces that gap before it becomes invisible.

Each issue is its own record: who received it, what item, which standard it's rated to, when it was issued, and when it's due for replacement. Re-issuing replacement PPE is recorded as a new record (or an edit to the existing one), not as an automatic renewal.

The list page shows every PPE issue with a due-soon/overdue badge computed from its replacement-due date, filterable and sortable by replacement due date or when the record was created/updated.

• Person — required. Who the PPE was issued to.
• PPE item — required, free text (e.g. "Safety harness", "Hard hat").
• Standard — required, free text. The rating/standard the item is certified to (e.g. an EN or SANS standard number).
• Issue date — required.
• Replacement due — required. When this item is due to be replaced.

Saving validates that all five fields are present.

There's no automatic notification when a PPE item approaches or passes its replacement-due date — the due-soon/overdue badge is the mechanism for surfacing it. PPE issue records aren't linked to Medical Surveillance or any other people-related register by a shared field, even where the same person appears in both.

Can one person have multiple PPE items tracked? Yes — each item issued is its own record, so a person with several PPE items has one record per item.
