During 1989 two European directives concerning personal protection came into force .
- The European directive 89 / 656 / EEC of 30.10.89 concerns the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
- The European directive 89 / 686 / EEC of 21.12.89 concerns PPE and their conception.
These directives were adapted to French law, both on the conception and on the use of equipments. The employer has therefore to supply to his employees protective equipments suited to the risks and working conditions. And since 1995, the manufacturers have had to affix the CE mark which guarantees the quality of their equipments.
