Tackling a job without wearing the right personal protective equipment (PPE) is a serious mistake. PPE is designed to protect the eyes, face, head, respiratory tract, and body extremities from potentially hazardous conditions. It includes such items as goggles, face shields, hard hats, respirators, dust masks, gloves, protective clothing, and safety shoes.
