PPE – What it “Says” About Your Safety Program
PPE, of course, stands for Personal Protective Equipment. PPE includes hard hats, safety glasses, work boots, dust masks, face-shields and any number of other protective items.
PPE is the first defense against accidents. But maybe even more important, proper PPE use can set the tone for a safe jobsite or workplace. Its constant use tells all involved that these individuals and companies are serious about working safely.
Proper PPE use is critical to the long-term success of most company safety programs. Don't ever compromise with your employees or subcontractors when it comes to PPE compliance.
