Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) refers to specialized clothing or gear worn by farm workers to protect against hazards such as chemicals, noise, and physical injuries. PPE serves as the last line of defense in minimizing exposure to these hazards when other safety measures are insufficient. Common examples include gloves, goggles, respirators, steel-toed boots, and full-body suits, each selected based on the specific risks associated with different farm tasks. Proper use and maintenance of PPE are crucial for ensuring a safe working environment on the farm.
