    TRANSLATE INTO SPANISH:

    What is personal protective equipment?

    Personal protective equipment, commonly referred to as "PPE", is


    equipment worn to minimize exposure to hazards that cause serious
    workplace injuries and illnesses. These injuries and illnesses may result
    from contact with chemical, radiological, physical, electrical,
    mechanical, or other workplace hazards. Personal protective equipment
    may include items such as (1) gloves, (2) safety glasses and (3) shoes,
    (4) earmuffs or earplugs, (5) hard hats, (6) respirators, (7) coveralls, (8)
    vests and (9) full body suits.

    What can be done to ensure proper use of personal protective


    equipment?

    All personal protective equipment should be safely designed and


    constructed, and should be maintained in a clean and reliable fashion. It
    should fit comfortably, encouraging worker use. If the personal
    protective equipment does not fit properly, it can make the difference
    between being safely covered or dangerously exposed. When
    engineering, work practice, and administrative controls are not feasible
    or do not provide sufficient protection, employers must provide personal
    protective equipment to their workers and ensure its proper use.
    Employers are also required to train each worker required to use
    personal protective equipment to know:

     When it is necessary.
     What kind is necessary.
     How to properly put it on, adjust, wear and take it off.
     The limitations of the equipment.
     Proper care, maintenance, useful life, and disposal of the
    equipment.
