Personal protection equipment (PPE) refers to protective clothing, accessories or equipment designed to protect workers from hazards or injury.

The purpose of personal protective equipment is to reduce employee exposure to hazards when engineering and administrative controls are not feasible or effective to reduce these risks to acceptable levels. PPE includes gloves, skin protection, protective clothing, respirators, hearing protection, eye protection, booth filters, and floor paper. Depending on the type of manufacturing processes being employed, different PPE may be recommended or required by regulation.
