PPE handout to Rajbandh workers

Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) is key in keeping workers at the landfill safe. On February 18, 2025, our team began distributing gumboots, warning vests, gloves, and masks to informal workers on site. The SCIP project will provide a steady supply of PPE material to ensure that safe equipment is readily available and broken material can be easily replaced. This activity is part of the project’s efforts to improve occupational health and safety, thereby ensuring the social sustainability of any technical and operational interventions. The PPE handout is also central to our exit strategy. The SCIP team will monitor PPE consumption and provide cost estimates for KCC officials to calculate the running costs of the training and sanitation facility at Rajbandh.
