When working in hazardous circumstances wearing PPE is mandatory and this company policy must be the top priority for every employee from the CEO to the most recently employed worker.

The selection and use of PPE for eye and face protection, foot and head protection, torso and hearing protectors is well covered. The fact that different workplaces demand different safety approaches is also of vital interest and this too is dealt with.

The subject is capped off by telling employees why PPE does not make them indestructible and then introduces them to how the proper care, maintenance and necessary disposal of damaged PPE can make workplaces, safe places.
