Manufacturing PPE
Reduce Production Risk Across Machines, Materials and Maintenance Tasks
Manufacturing PPE should be selected for the process, equipment, material, exposure, work area, and employee task. Assembly, machining, fabrication, electronics production, packaging, maintenance, sanitation, warehouse movement, and utility work can require different combinations of hand, eye, face, hearing, respiratory, head, body, and foot protection.
Use the facility’s documented hazard assessment to identify the protection required for each operation. Confirm product ratings, fit, compatibility, inspection schedules, replacement criteria, and training needs before issuing equipment across a department or plant.
Selection note: PPE does not replace machine guarding, lockout/tagout, ventilation, process controls, or safe work practices. Loose clothing and some gloves can create entanglement hazards near moving or rotating machinery. Hearing protection should be based on measured noise exposure, and respirators must be used within a compliant respiratory-protection program.
