What is PPE? Your Superpowers for Surviving the Workplace
Construction workers who do not use PPE are 3 times more likely to be injured than those who do. PPE is your superpower to safety.
Personal Protective Equipment, also referred to as PPE, is any protective clothing or gear that is designed to protect the wearer’s body from injury. Let’s take a closer look at the superpowers that you can use to ensure that you fight off the villains of falling objects and hazardous materials on the worksite:
Heroic Hardhat: These heroes are important to avoid potential injury to the head that might occur due to falling objects.
Guardian Goggles: These guardians protect your eyes from dust, fumes, chemicals and other materials.
Glowing Gloves: These glowing warriors are designed to protect your fighting hands from cuts, burns, chemicals and other hazards.
Mighty Masks: These mighty saviors ensure that you are protected against dangerous particles and liquids from contaminating your face.
Shielding Safety Boots: These champions shield you from accidents caused by slips, trips and falls, as well as injuries from punctures, cuts, burns and heavy impact.
Helpful High-Vis Vests: These lifesavers help you to be seen by others and prevent accidents that may be caused by your lack of visibility.
Extraordinary Earplugs: These defenders protect your ears from noise-induced damage and potential hearing loss.
