DIGITAL PPE REGISTER FAQ

Can I use Excel as a PPE issue register?

Yes. An Excel spreadsheet can work well as a PPE issue register for a smaller team with relatively few records and one person maintaining the file. As employees, sites, inspections and replacements increase, a digital PPE register makes current records and equipment history easier to manage.

When Excel is practical

  • One person controls and updates the workbook.
  • The team and number of issue records are small.
  • PPE changes infrequently and advanced permissions are unnecessary.
  • The file is backed up and can be retrieved when needed.

When an online register becomes useful

Consider a digital system when several people need live records, PPE moves across departments or sites, or you need QR codes and a searchable history. EquipLoop can keep each assignment and return as a separate event instead of requiring someone to overwrite spreadsheet rows.

Manage your PPE records online

Connect PPE to employees, record condition and keep every issue, return and replacement in one searchable history.
