What does Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) include?

General work attire like uniforms
Specialized clothing for protection
Basic clothing worn during work
Disposable items meant for cleaning

The correct answer is: Specialized clothing for protection

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) encompasses specialized clothing and equipment designed to protect individuals from hazards that can cause injury or illness in the workplace. This includes items such as gloves, masks, gowns, goggles, and face shields, which are specifically designed and used for safety in environments where exposure to physical, chemical, or biological hazards is a risk. The focus of PPE is on providing a barrier from risks associated with specific tasks or environments rather than general work attire or basic clothing. General work attire, like uniforms or basic clothing, typically do not offer the intended level of protection for hazardous conditions. Similarly, while disposable items can play a role in maintaining hygiene, they do not encapsulate the full scope of what constitutes PPE. Thus, specialized clothing that offers significant protective features is the correct understanding of what Personal Protective Equipment entails.
