Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) protects employees from injuries occurring in the workplace.  

Staying safe on the job is not only a worker’s responsibility, but also an employer’s. According to OSHA, employers are to review job sites and understand the hazards associated with working on them. They should provide the necessary PPE to all employees working in these hazardous conditions and continually hold trainings to ensure employees know how to use the PPE. As an employee, you will be required to use the PPE to keep you safe on the job.

What types of products fall under PPE? The most common are Safety Earpieces and Eyewear, Head Protection, Clothing, Respirators, Gloves and Body Harnesses. However, there are products out there that not all employees may think of when it comes to classifying PPE. Some of these include: Visors, Rainwear, Protective Sleeves, Back Supports and Wrist Wraps.
