reaches and damages the inner ear. The most
prevalent types of PPE are ear muffs and
earplugs.
Body Protection - Full Body Suits
USES:
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) covers any
clothes and other work accessories designed to
provide a barrier against workplace risks, and

The facepiece protects the eyes by covering
the face and eyes. Filtering Facepiece
Respirators are disposable half-facepiece
respirators that filter out particles like dust,
mist, and fumes.
