What is personal protective equipment? Personal protective equipment, commonly referred to as "PPE", is equipment worn to minimize exposure to serious workplace injuries and illnesses. These injuries and illnesses may result from contact with bloodborn pathogens, chemical, radiological, physical, electrical, mechanical, or other workplace hazards.
Personal protective equipment includes items such as gloves, safety glasses and shoes, earplugs or muffs, hard hats, respirators, or coveralls, vests and full body suits. We have assembled an assortment of safety posters addressing PPE. Take a look below to find posters appropriate for your facility.
