1. Head Protection
PPE includes hard hats and headgears and should be required for tasks than can cause any force or object falling to the head.

Do not store in direct sunlight and always replace a hard hat if it was used for any kind of impact, even if damage is unnoticeable.
2. Face and Eye Protection
PPE includes safety goggles and face shields and should be used for tasks that can cause loss of vision and an eye, burns, splashes, sprays of toxic liquids etc. Ensure that there are no cracks or deformities on the lenses, ensure the strap is in good working order and is firmly sealed to the cheek and forehead.
3. Foot Protection
