We all know that PPE is very important, and always keep workers protected when in dangerous environments. But if you're new to the workforce, or just didn't need PPE in past jobs, you may not know what PPE even is. PPE means Personal Protective Equipment, and it's anything a worker uses or wears to keep them healthy and safe. We at WorkwearHub take safety very seriously and have a wide range of safety gear for almost any work environment.
When it comes to PPE, there are many different types specifically for certain workplaces. PPE can include hard hats, earplugs, gloves, goggles, respirators, sunscreen, safety harnesses, safety boots and high-visibility clothing. But certain ones are more common than others, like the steel cap boots, hard hats, hi-vis clothing, safety glasses and safety harnesses.
