This document discusses different types of personal protective equipment (PPE) used to protect various parts of the body from workplace hazards. It describes how hard hats can protect workers from head injuries from impacts or falling objects. Footwear with impact protection and steel toes can protect legs and feet from falling objects, sharp objects, slippery surfaces, and hazards. Eye and face protection such as safety glasses and face shields protect from flying debris, sparks, splashes, and optical hazards. Earplugs and earmuffs help prevent damage to hearing. Gloves protect hands from cuts, burns, chemicals and extreme temperatures. Protective clothing covers the body from heat, radiation, hot materials and hazardous substances. Respirators protect against breathing in
