- Abstract
- Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) noncompliance has been addressed through var-
ious lenses. In current literature, there is a greater focus on improving training and
safety culture. Improving PPE design to persuade PPE compliance is less explored,
especially in sectors beyond healthcare. This study investigates the reasons behind
PPE noncompliance across construction, maritime, and chimney sweeping sectors.
The results are then used to develop a set of design strategies for PPE manufacturers,
as an alternative to merely addressing changes in training, work culture, or organiza-
tional procedures. Due to the heterogeneous nature of the sectors, participants, and
work environments studied, the study builds... (More) - Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) noncompliance has been addressed through var-
