Personal protective equipment, commonly referred to as PPE, is a critical aspect of any organization's safety program because it is the last line of defense in protecting workers from a variety of hazards that can cause injury or illness.

Failing to provide the correct PPE or forgetting to make sure employees are wearing it can lead to avoidable accidents, not to mention costly enforcement actions.

Despite the importance of PPE, many safety managers still struggle with conducting hazard assessments, recognizing when agencies require certain types of PPE, selecting the appropriate PPE for the job, and identifying who is responsible for providing PPE in the first place.
