Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) refers to equipment, which is used in the workplace by a person, to protect them from a hazard. It is the least preferred method for controlling hazards, and should be used as a short term measure or in conjunction with other control measures.
Examples of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) include safety goggles; safe footwear; face shields and ear plugs/ear muffs.
The PPE checklist will assist in identifying protective equipment and clothing required to perform the job safety.
