PPE BASICS
Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE) is geared for individual
safety while performing any
type of potentially hazardous
work. Available PPE ranges
from safety glasses, hard hats,
gloves, and lab coats, to
HazMat suits, respirators, and
more.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) reduces
the risk of injury or harm to users caused by
hazards present in the workplace. Hazardous
materials will always be present in the
workplace, but being safe and protected
should also be present at all times.
