PPE Written Reportsdsdad

Personal protective equipment, or PPE, is gear worn to minimize exposure to workplace injuries and illnesses caused by chemical, radiological, physical, electrical, mechanical or other hazards. PPE includes items like gloves, safety glasses, earplugs, hard hats, respirators and coveralls. All PPE should be properly designed, constructed, maintained, fitted and encourage worker use to safely cover employees rather than dangerously expose them. When other safety controls aren't feasible, employers must provide appropriate PPE and ensure it is correctly used.

Personal Protective Equipment

- Personal protective equipment, commonly referred to as "PPE", is equipment


worn to minimize exposure to serious workplace injuries and illnesses. These
injuries and illnesses may result from contact with chemical, radiological,
physical, electrical, mechanical, or other workplace hazards. Personal
protective equipment may include items such as gloves, safety glasses and
shoes, earplugs or muffs, hard hats, respirators, or coveralls, vests and full
body suits.
All personal protective equipment should be safely designed and constructed, and
should be maintained in a clean and reliable fashion. It should fit comfortably,
encouraging worker use. If the personal protective equipment does not fit properly, it can
make the difference between being safely covered or dangerously exposed. When
engineering, work practice, and administrative controls are not feasible or do not provide
sufficient protection, employers must provide personal protective equipment to their
workers and ensure its proper use.
