PPE requirements
Protective gear standards
PPE requirements are the rules specifying what protective equipment workers must wear in hazardous environments.
Workplaces establish these based on identified risks—construction sites may require hard hats and steel-toed boots, hospitals may mandate gloves and masks, chemical plants may need full respirators.
The PPE requirements for the lab include safety goggles and a lab coat.
