OVERVIEW

Ideagen Safety includes an optional PPE Inventory module that enables you to effectively track and manage PPE stock across your organisation.

This article explains how to enable the PPE Inventory module and outlines the additional capabilities it introduces within your Ideagen Safety system.

Enable PPE Inventory – Introduction

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is managed in Ideagen Safety through two modules:

• The PPE Register, which records the types of equipment used or required by your organisation.

• This register also tracks details such as the body part protected, the lifespan once allocated, and the cost per unit.

The PPE Inventory is an optional module that helps track your organization’s PPE stock.
It records details such as quantities, sizes, and colors available at specific sites across the organization.

When the PPE Inventory module is turned off, Damstra Safety allocates PPE to people and vehicles without checking actual stock availability.

When the PPE Inventory module is enabled, the system verifies stock levels before allocation — ensuring the correct size and colour are available. Once PPE is allocated, stock levels are automatically updated.

This guide explains how to enable PPE Inventory through Settings.
