What is Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Personal Protective Equipment or PPE refers to protective clothing, glasses/goggles, headwear, footwear and other garments designed to protect the user from hazards. PPE is required for certain SCC operations, including but not limited to the use of portable/stationary power tools, compressed air, and/or chemicals.
See the EH&S Facts: Personal Protective Equipment for a brief summary of each and when they should be used.
