mandatory requirement. Appropriate PPE is your first and often only line of
defense against many potential hazards on site.

Hand protection comes in huge assortment of styles, materials and sizes for the hands protection in all aspects of hazards may be encountered in the project.
Jewelry in the workplace can also be
a hazard that is often overlooked. Rings, bracelets, and chains can be the
cause of a much severe related accident. Common sense should be considered when
wearing your jewelry. The best choice is to keep your jewelry in the closet.Head Protection.
Ø Hard Hat or Helmet is very important protective equipment for your head all around the project areas. The helmet has been designed to absorb the impact from falling objects such as tools, bumping head against objects such as pipes or beams and contact with dangerous exposed electrical wiring or components.
Eye Protection
Ø Eye protection is mandatory required for the protection of your eyes at project areas against dust and other flying particles such as metal shavings or sawdust, corrosive gases, vapors, and chemical splashes including Intense light from welding UV light.
Ear Protection
Ø Use ear plugs to protect your hearing capacity at all high noise areas in the project.
Dressing for the workplace by wearing the right PPE helps protect you from injury. It is your first line of defense against worksite hazards. Carefully choose your work clothing and the personal protective equipment that will best protect you for your job. Improper or no PPE is an invitation for an injury to occur.
