3M Integrated Protection Programme
PPE is most effective when worn properly, 100% of the time exposed to hazards – and it works best when it works together.
Personal protective equipment (PPE) is often selected to protect workers against specific hazards. Workers seldom encounter hazards one at a time, which means they often need to wear multiple types of PPE at once.
This is why 3M has introduced the 3M Integrated Protection Programme* – a portfolio of personal protective equipment technologies and services designed to work together to help address workers' various needs, including comfort, fit, compatibility, communication and performance.
Why are PPE compatibility and wear time so important? From fogging eyewear to interrupted communications, when PPE doesn't work together, it can interfere with the job at hand. Workers may be tempted to remove PPE in hazardous areas, causing effective protection to drop.
Learn how 3M's Integrated Protection Programme technologies and services may help encourage wear time.
Compatibility & Comfort
PPE works better when it works together. Workers may need to wear several types of PPE at the same time. Choosing compatible products can help improve comfort, usability and overall wear time.
Compatibility
Workers need to wear multiple types of PPE for long periods of time, which may interfere with each other when worn together.

Comfort
Heat, humidity and lack of breathability can cause discomfort. So can chafing or pressure from overlapping PPE.
