Gear preventing injuries
Protective equipment is gear designed to shield the wearer from harm—helmets, goggles, gloves, hard hats, steel-toed boots.
In workplaces, it's often called PPE (personal protective equipment): The construction site requires protective equipment at all times.
Athletes wear protective equipment against impact; medical workers wear it against infection.
