Personal Protective Equipment.
What is PPE?
- Personal protective equipment is protective clothing, helmets, goggles, or other garments or equipment designed to protect the wearer's body from injury or infection. The hazards addressed by protective equipment include physical, electrical, heat, chemicals, biohazards, and airborne particulate matter.
What are the basic requirements for PPE here at the HHS workshop?
- Examples of PPE include such items as gloves, foot and eye protection, protective hearing devices (earplugs, muffs) hard hats, respirators, full body suits and shoes/boots.

Who pays for your PPE?
- The business must pay for the cost of PPE (unless you are choosing to provide your own). The business cannot pass on the cost (in full or part) for providing you with PPE. They cannot make you pay to replace any lost or worn out PPE either.
Explain the different types/range of basic PPE that is available in the workplace.
Glasses: Keeps dusts from going in your eye
Overalls: Protects regular clothing that are worn underneath
Shoes: Protects the foot from hazards such as falling objects
