Personal protective equipment (also known as PPE) is the equipment people put on to reduce exposures to different hazards that can inflict serious work-related injuries and illnesses on them. Gloves, safety shoes and glasses are some of the PPEs that can be worn at work.
These equipment must be rightly designed and maintained in a clean fashion. Employers must ensure it fits people comfortably and should encourage them to wear them at all times when required.
