Generally, PPE includes respirators, high-visibility clothing, earplugs or earmuffs, coveralls or lifejackets, safety helmets, eye protection, gloves, gauntlets, safety harnesses and safety footwear. Employers provide these devices to workers in case the engineering, work practice and administrative controls are not feasible or do not ensure sufficient protection. They also provide training for using these devices as they may help in protecting personnel from various biological contaminants, toxic vapors, hazardous gases, radiological particulates and other chemical agents.
