The occupational safety and health administration mandates employers to protect their employees from such potentially dangerous workplace hazards. Personal protective equipment (PPE) plays an important role in preventing and ensuring health safety amongst industrial workers. This study aimed to determine the use of PPE and rules compliance amongst Industrial Workers in Kano State.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A cross-sectional study design was used to assess 150 workers selected from the Sharada Industrial Estate, Kano, Nigeria, using a multistage sampling technique. Data were obtained using semi-structured interviewer-administered questionnaires and analysed using SPSS version 22.0.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The response rate was 88.2%, and the mean age of respondents was 28.1 \u00b1 7.4. About 72% were male, 74.7% had secondary education and 16.4% reported ever having a child with a congenital anomaly. Up to 25% reported using PPE always, 62% used PPE occasionally and 12% never used PPE. Factors significantly associated with the use of PPE at bivariate level were: Gender, 'provision of statutory regulation by the management', 'provision of PPE on worksite' and 'provision of training to staff' respectively. However, on multivariable regression analysis, only 'provision of statutory regulation by the management' and 'provision of PPE on worksite' were found to be independent (intrinsic) predictors of the use of PPE.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Training alone does not necessarily increase the uptake of PPE amongst industrial workers. There is a need to ensure the availability of PPE at the worksite, as well as statutory regulations by industries.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/npmj.npmj_214_22","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,26]],"date-time":"2022-10-26T22:58:19Z","timestamp":1666825099000},"page":"303-309","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Non-COVID-19 Uptake of Personal Protective Equipment and Rules Compliance amongst Industrial Workers in Kano, Nigeria"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"Muhammad Garba","family":"Rayyan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Usman Muhammad","family":"Ibrahim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Usman Sunusi","family":"Usman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Karibullah Idris","family":"Muhammad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R2-4-20240908","first-page":"285","article-title":"Personal protective equipment (PPE) use and its relation to accidents among construction workers","volume":"111","author":"Sehsah","year":"2020","journal-title":"Med Lav"},{"key":"R3-4-20240908","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e132","DOI":"10.1097\/SLA.0000000000003991","article-title":"Personal protective equipment and COVID-19: A review for surgeons","volume":"272","author":"Stewart","year":"2020","journal-title":"Ann Surg"},{"key":"R4-4-20240908","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"590","DOI":"10.1177\/1541931213571126","article-title":"A False Sense of Security: Hazards Associated with Working on Flat Roofs with Parapet Walls","volume":"57","author":"Runge","year":"2013","journal-title":"Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 57th Annual Meeting"},{"key":"R6-4-20240908","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"195","DOI":"10.1016\/0003-6870(95)00017-7","article-title":"Comfort of personal protective equipment","volume":"26","author":"Akbar-Khanzadeh","year":"1995","journal-title":"Appl Ergon"},{"key":"R7-4-20240908","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"323","DOI":"10.1177\/154193120004402711","article-title":"A model to predict employee compliance with employee coporate's safety regulations factoring risk perception","volume":"44","author":"Diaz","year":"2000","journal-title":"Proc Hum Factors Ergon Soc Annu Meet"},{"key":"R10-4-20240908","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"67","DOI":"10.4103\/npmj.npmj_19_20","article-title":"Sample size estimation for health and social science researchers: The principles and considerations for different study designs","volume":"27","author":"Bolarinwa","year":"2020","journal-title":"Niger Postgrad Med J"},{"key":"R11-4-20240908","first-page":"158","article-title":"Knowledge, attitude and compliance with occupational health and safety practices among pipeline products and marketing company (PPMC) staff in Lagos","volume":"2","author":"Adebola","year":"2014","journal-title":"Merit Res J Med Med Sci"},{"key":"R13-4-20240908","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"152","DOI":"10.5395\/rde.2017.42.2.152","article-title":"Statistical notes for clinical researchers: Chi-squared test and Fisher's exact test","volume":"42","author":"Kim","year":"2017","journal-title":"Restor Dent Endod"},{"key":"R15-4-20240908","first-page":"371","article-title":"Patients' satisfaction with services obtained from Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital, Northern Nigeria","volume":"13","author":"Iliyasu","year":"2010","journal-title":"Niger J Clin Pract"},{"key":"R17-4-20240908","first-page":"1","article-title":"A qualitative study of barriers to personal protective equipment use among laundry workers in government hospitals, Hawassa, Ethiopia","volume":"2020","author":"Tamene","year":"2020","journal-title":"J Environ Public Health"}],"container-title":["Nigerian Postgraduate Medical Journal"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/npmj.npmj_214_22","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,26]],"date-time":"2026-08-26T15:12:21Z","timestamp":1787757141000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/npmj.npmj_214_22"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2022,10]]},"references-count":10,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2022]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4103\/npmj.npmj_214_22","relation":{},"ISSN":["1117-1936"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1117-1936","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2022,10]]}}}
