The NIOSH PPE Tracker mobile app can help employers in the construction industry keep track of their personal protective equipment (PPE) inventory. Facilities can use the app to calculate their average PPE consumption rate or “burn rate.”
Based upon inputs, the app can estimate how many days a PPE supply will last given current inventory levels and PPE burn rate. Based on the PPE Burn Rate Calculator Excel spreadsheet, the app features several improvements, including an easy-to-use interface and the ability to add restock. The app is available for both iOS and Android devices.
