PPE

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) are devices used by workers in various work activities to ensure their safety and health in the workplace. The purpose of this equipment is to minimize the risk of accidents and occupational diseases, protecting workers against possible risks to their physical integrity.

Besides the use of PPEs, it is necessary to adopt other measures to prevent accidents and diseases, such as the adoption of safety measures at the workplace, training for workers, preventive maintenance of equipment and facilities, among others.

 There are several types of IPEs, which vary according to the activity and the risks involved in each job. Some examples of individual protection equipment are: Safety helmet, Ear protection, Safety gloves, Safety goggles, Respiratory protection masks, Safety shoes, Safety belt, Sunscreen, Uniform and Face protection.

 In addition, it is important that workers use PPE correctly and follow the guidance provided by the employer on how to use and care for this equipment. PPE must be correctly adjusted to the worker's body and must be used during the entire working period when there are risks involved. Not wearing PPE can put not only the worker's own health and safety at risk, but also that of their co-workers. It is necessary that companies adopt a safety culture, where the prevention of accidents and occupational diseases is a priority, and that safety measures are implemented to eliminate or reduce the risks present in the work environment.
