What is PPE?
After being part of a global pandemic with Covid - it's highly unlikely that you're unaware of what PPE is. But if you were unaware that wearing a mask and/or gloves is considered PPE - then the following will be for you.
PPE stands for Personal Protective Equipment.
As with all topics we cover here on the podcast - this will be a very high-level look at PPE. There are many other PPE options available besides the ones we'll cover here. To keep things short and to the point - here are the primary ones you need to be aware of.
- Eyes | Glasses
- Ears | Ear Plugs and Ear Muffs
- Lungs | Masks and Respirators
- Head | Hard Hats
- Hands | Gloves
- Feet | Steel Toed Boots
- Back | Braces
- Body | Braces, Harnesses, and Protective Clothing
The two most important PPE sources you need to follow are the OSHA Guidelines required at your facility - as well as the training and guidelines set forth by management.
Remember - your health and safety is your boss when it comes to PPE. If you think you're getting away with something by not wearing it - you're only fooling yourself. It only takes a moment of not wearing PPE to introduce issues, injuries, and in the worst cases - death. Don't roll the dice when it comes to your health and safety.
We look forward to seeing you next week for another Warehouse Safety Tips.
Until then, have a great week and STAY SAFE!
