Wear Your Protective Clothing From Head To Toe

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is available to cover you literally from head to toe.

A safely managed workplace reduces hazards to the minimum.  For the hazards which remain, PPE is available.

Here are some common kinds of PPE:

• Hardhats help prevent injuries from falling objects and other types of impact. 
• Safety glasses protect your eyes from flying objects and other objects. 
• Hearing protection includes earplugs which fit inside the ear, and earmuffs which fit over the outer ear.
• Gloves come in many materials and designs for a multitude of hazards. 
  
• Safety footwear includes the familiar safety boot with a steel toe, high top and rigid insole. 
• Other protective clothing includes chemically resistant aprons. 

This is just a sampling of the types of clothing available to protect you while you work.  Make sure you get knowledgeable guidance in choosing, fitting and maintaining equipment.

Your Personal Protective Equipment won’t do you any good if it is hanging in your locker.  Be sure to wear it to keep you safe from hazards.
