There are so many potential hazards at a construction site, and personal protective equipment (PPE) is one of the workers’ primary lines of defense. Each item is designed to minimize exposure to certain risks of injury or illness, as well as the damage caused by those hazards in the event of a mishap.
PPE includes gloves, gowns, laboratory coats, face shields or masks, eye protection, resuscitation masks, and other protective gear such as hats and booties.
