Dear Mennu Mathew,
Personal protective equipment, or PPE, is designed to protect workers from serious workplace injuries or illnesses resulting from contact with chemical, radiological, physical, electrical, mechanical, or other workplace hazards. Besides face shields, safety glasses, hard hats, and safety shoes, protective equipment includes a variety of devices and garments such as goggles, coveralls, gloves, vests, earplugs, and respirators.
Using personal protective equipment is often essential, but it is generally the last line of defense after engineering controls, work practices, and administrative controls. For use in industrial workplaces, please find attached useful information on PPE selection.
