Personal protective equipment (PPE) is used to maintain the safety and security of workers. The fall of heavy objects, injury by production machinery, or exposure to chemicals are some potential hazards in the work environment that personal protective equipment can prevent. To protect workers from injury, illness, and other potential threats in the workplace, companies need to create a safe and healthy work environment. One way is to provide personal protective equipment for workers.


Personal protective equipment is used to protect workers from accidents or diseases caused by contact with potential hazards in the work environment, whether physical, chemical, or biological. The scope of exposure includes breathing, skin, mouth, eyes, and ears, such as deafening noises. Personal protective equipment is also needed to protect workers from the dangers of emergency response, such as natural disasters.


Therefore, the use of personal protective equipment must be adjusted to the potential hazards that exist in the workplace. Several types of personal protective equipment are gloves, safety shoes, protective glasses, protective clothing, ear protection devices (ear muffs or ear plugs), helmets, and masks. Maintaining security and safety in the work environment is the company's responsibility. It is also necessary for the contribution of workers to make it happen. Therefore, workers must understand how to use, maintain, and maintain the cleanliness of personal protective equipment. Personal protection while working with personal protective equipment is critical to note. Otherwise, work-related injuries or illnesses can cause serious health problems, disability, and even death.


Let's improve work safety and reduce the number of work accidents by using PPE according to safety standards determined by the government and internationally. Working according to standard security procedures and social security protection for employment will create a sense of security, ultimately increasing company productivity.
