DIGITAL PPE REGISTER FAQ

Can QR codes be used for PPE tracking?

Yes. QR codes are useful for individually tracked reusable PPE because scanning a label can identify the item and open its digital record. They are especially practical for equipment with a unique ID, such as safety harnesses, reusable respirators or specialist protective gear.

Best suited to durable, individually tracked PPE

  • Fall-arrest harnesses and lanyards.
  • Reusable respirators and powered air systems.
  • Arc-flash suits and specialist protective clothing.
  • Reusable welding helmets and face shields.
  • Other safety equipment with an asset or serial number.

Do not label every consumable item

A unique QR code is usually unnecessary for each disposable glove, mask or earplug. Those issues can be recorded by product and quantity while QR codes are reserved for PPE where individual identity and history add value.
