I.Head Protection
Wearing PPE for head protection will help you avoid any harm that may come
to you from falling materials or swinging objects. Moreover, the head protectors are
designed to protect you from knocking against stationary objects. Some kinds of
head protection equipment (e.g. caps and hair nets) can even protect against
entanglement or scalping on machinery.
A. Helmet

II.Hand Protection
Arms, hands and fingers are often injured and, therefore, it is vital to wear hand
protection equipment when it is required. The hand protection equipment can ensure
protection against heat, cold, vibrations, burns, cuts by sharp objects, bacteriological
risks and chemical contamination.

III.Eye and face

Protection
Numbers are scary! Every day, 600+ workers worldwide suffer from eye injuries.
Such injuries can be avoided simply by wearing the proper eye and face protection
equipment.:

IV.Respiratory
Protection
The respiratory protection covers a broad group of PPE: breathing apparatus, full
face or half mask respirators, powered respirators, protective hoods, disposal face
masks, detectors, monitors, etc. Adequate training on how users should use the
equipment is always required.

V.Hearing Protection
The respiratory protection covers a broad group of PPE: breathing apparatus, full
face or half mask respirators, powered respirators, protective hoods, disposal face
masks, detectors, monitors, etc. Adequate training on how users should use the
equipment is always required.
VI.Foot Protection
The foot protection equipment is designed to protect the feet and legs against various
hazards, such as extreme temperatures, crushing, piercing, slipping, cutting,
chemicals and electricity. It is typically required when users are involved in
construction activities, working in very cold or hot environments, working with
chemicals and forestry, or when manually handling heavy objects.

VII.Foot Protection

Usually, body protection equipment is required in the following cases:

 For protection against weather conditions when working outdoors;

 Ensuring the high-visibility of users when they work in areas where there is a
mixed vehicle (e.g. bikes, motors, cars and busses) and pedestrian traffic;
 For users’ protection against extreme temperatures;
 Ensuring protection against entanglement, drowning, chemical contamination,
etc.
VII. Height and Access
Protection
This type is highly specialised, and it usually requires users to undergo
thorough training before they are allowed to use it. The height and access protection
equipment must be inspected periodically by a competent person to ensure it is still fit
for use and the health and safety of users is not threatened in any way.
