Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is one of the most effective ways to reduce the risk of workplace injuries when hazards cannot be eliminated. This 10–15 minute Safety Minute reviews the purpose of PPE, common types of protective equipment, employee responsibilities, safe work practices, warning signs of damaged PPE, and the steps to take if an incident occurs. Participants will leave with practical knowledge to properly inspect, wear, and maintain PPE while reinforcing that it is the last line of defense in a comprehensive workplace safety program.
