Peru Construction Safety: Why PPE Compliance Is Becoming More Important on Worksites

What happens when a construction company has safety equipment on site, but workers are not using the right PPE correctly?

Occupational safety inspections in Peru continue to highlight the importance of personal protective equipment (PPE), safe working conditions and effective risk prevention on construction sites.

Peru’s National Superintendency of Labor Inspection, SUNAFIL, is responsible for supervising compliance with occupational safety and health requirements. Previous SUNAFIL interventions at construction projects in Lima’s Pueblo Libre district have specifically reviewed workplace safety conditions, machinery, safety signs, fire prevention, housekeeping and the use of personal protective equipment.

For contractors, construction companies and PPE distributors, the message is clear: PPE compliance is not simply about having safety equipment available. It is about making sure workers have appropriate protection for the hazards they actually face.

What PPE Is Essential for Construction Workers?

Construction sites expose workers to multiple risks every day, including falling objects, sharp materials, dust, noise, machinery, uneven surfaces and work at height.

Depending on the task and risk assessment, commonly used construction PPE can include:

• safety helmets
• safety shoes
• high-visibility workwear
• protective gloves
• safety goggles
• hearing protection
• fall-protection equipment

Equipment must also be correctly selected, properly fitted, regularly inspected and replaced when damaged or worn.

SUNAFIL's earlier Pueblo Libre intervention also emphasized that occupational safety involves responsibilities for both employers and workers, including responsible use of protective equipment.
