Personal protective equipment (PPE)

Personal protective equipment, commonly referred to as "PPE", is equipment worn to minimize workplace injuries and illnesses.

Knee pads – Daily work in a kneeling position puts strain on the hips, knees, and ankle joints. Choose knee pads suited to your work situation. For extended periods of kneeling, select knee pads that also relieve pressure on the shins and ankles by distributing the load.

Gloves – Selection is based on the conditions (temperature, chemicals, vibration) and duration of exposure.
