FAQ
PPE request form questions
Answers for teams moving PPE requests online.
What is a PPE request form?
It lets a worker or supervisor request personal protective equipment with consistent worker, site, task, item, size, quantity, reason, timing, and delivery details. It supports review and fulfillment but does not replace hazard assessment or equipment selection.
What fields should I put on a PPE request form?
Collect worker, department, supervisor, site, task, PPE item, stock code or model, item-specific size, quantity, request reason, needed-by date, and handoff location. Add hazard context, attachments, and human review for special requests.
Can workers request several PPE items in one submission?
Yes. Let workers select multiple categories, then ask size and quantity for each item. For crew requests, capture the assigned worker on every line so products, sizes, and recipients stay clear.
How should replacement PPE requests be handled?
Ask which item is worn, damaged, contaminated, lost, poorly fitting, or unsuitable for changed work. Add an item number, return status, comments, and optional photo. Your team applies its own replacement and disposal rules.
Can the form route unusual requests for safety review?
Yes. Use an unlisted item, unusual task, hazard, urgent date, or training status to collect more detail and notify a reviewer. The responsible person still decides the appropriate protection and follow-up.
Is the PPE request form generator free?
Yes. Makeform provides unlimited free forms and responses for generating, editing, publishing, and collecting PPE requests. The paid tier only removes the Makeform badge.
Can employees submit a PPE request from a phone?
Yes. Share the published link and use clear item choices, short conditional branches, and only necessary review fields. Include comments or a supporting image when useful.
Where can the safety team use submitted request data?
Teams can review submissions or connect request details to email, Slack, Google Sheets, Zapier, or another queue. Stable site, item, urgency, date, and reason fields support consistent sorting.
Replace scattered gear requests with one clear intake.
