Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) comprises various items worn or used by individuals to mitigate risks and protect against hazards in the workplace.
This equipment includes protective clothing, such as gloves, safety glasses, helmets, and footwear, designed to shield against physical, electrical, chemical, or biological hazards. Respiratory protective equipment safeguards against inhaling harmful substances, while hearing protection devices reduce exposure to excessive noise levels. PPE is selected based on specific workplace hazards and individual requirements, aiming to ensure the safety and well-being of workers in various industries. Proper training, maintenance, and adherence to safety protocols are essential for the effective use of PPE.
