Law 31/1995 of 8 November on the Prevention of Occupational Risks determines the basic body of guarantees and precise responsibilities to establish an adequate level of protection of workers ' health against the risks arising from working conditions, in the framework of a coherent, coordinated and effective policy. According to Article 6 of the Directive, the regulatory standards will be those which will be laid down and the most technical aspects of preventive measures.

Thus, it is the regulatory development rules that should set the minimum measures to be taken for the proper protection of workers. These include those aimed at ensuring the use by workers in the work of individual protective equipment to adequately protect them from those risks to their health or safety that cannot be avoided or limited. (a) sufficiently by the use of means of collective protection or the adoption of measures for the organisation of work.

Likewise, the Convention No. 155 of the International Labour Organization, of 22 June 1981, ratified by Spain on 26 July 1985, provides in Article 16.3 of the obligation for employers to supply their appropriate protective clothing and protective equipment in order to prevent the risks of accidents or harmful effects to their health.

In the same sense, it must be borne in mind that, in the context of the European Union, the general criteria for action in the field of health and safety in the institutions have been laid down by the relevant Directives. as well as specific criteria for measures to protect against accidents and situations of risk. In particular, Directive 89 /656/EEC of 30 November lays down the minimum safety and health requirements for the use by workers in the work of personal protective equipment. This Royal Decree provides for the transposition into Spanish law of the content of Directive 89 /656/EEC, referred to above.

Under Article 6 of Law 31/1995 of 8 November on the Prevention of Occupational Risks, on the proposal of the Ministers for Labour and Social Affairs and Industry and Energy, consulted on the more representative employers 'and employers' organisations, the National Committee on Safety and Health at Work, in agreement with the Council of State and after deliberation by the Council of Ministers at its meeting on 30 May 1997,
