OUR 5 MOST ESSENTIAL JOB SITE PPE!
Personal protective equipment (PPE) on construction sites consists of a wide range of garments and accessories that protect you from potentially fatal injuries.
PPE saves lives and prevents major injuries on the job. OSHA requires this equipment in specified situations because it is so important to safety. If you don’t have PPE on, you could lose an eye or limb, sustain severe burns or suffer a debilitating head injury.
Acting like a shield between you and the hazards you may face on the job. Depending on your profession, you may need several types of personal protection equipment. A medical worker, for example, may be required to wear a gown and gloves that are certified for protection against contact with blood and other bodily fluids, but you would not be required to wear such protective gear in the construction sector. For your unique employment, you must be aware of all personal protective equipment guidelines.
Even if you know you'll need personal protective equipment on the job, the type of PPE you'll need depends on the work. If you're welding, your PPE will be different than if you're operating a backhoe. Your employer must provide you with the personal protective equipment (PPE) you require for your job, and the corporation must pay for it. Aside from work boots, you don't need to buy any PPE. You should also obtain instructions on when and how to use personal protective equipment (PPE).
