PPE Resources
Hazards exist in the agriculture industry in many different forms: sharp edges, falling objects, flying sparks, chemicals, noise and a myriad of other potentially dangerous situations. Personal protective equipment (PPE), is worn to minimize exposure to various hazards. Common PPE include gloves, steel-toed boots, goggles, earplugs or earmuffs, hard hats, respirators, and full-body suits.
For more information on PPE from AgriSafe, see the Respiratory Health Topic and Hearing Loss Prevention Health Topic.
