Personal protective equipment (PPE) refers to specialized gear, such as gloves, goggles, respirators, hard hats, and protective clothing, worn to minimize exposure to workplace hazards including chemicals, radiation, physical injury, or infectious agents. It is mandated by occupational safety regulations like those from OSHA in industries such as construction, healthcare, manufacturing, and laboratory work. Proper selection, fit, and maintenance of PPE are critical responsibilities for safety officers and workers in hazardous environments.
