Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is an abbreviation for a variety of equipment and apparel designed to protect workers from industrial risks and prevent accidents or diseases. Hard hats, safety glasses, respirators, gloves, safety shoes, earplugs, and full-body suits are examples of personal protective equipment (PPE). Many locations, such as construction sites, manufacturing plants, and healthcare facilities, require the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) because workers are exposed to hazards such as falling items, chemicals, noise, and infectious illnesses. PPE is chosen depending on the unique threats in the job as well as the level of protection required. Employers are responsible for providing employees with PPE and ensuring that it is properly maintained and used. Employees are responsible for wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) as directed.
