Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standard 1910.132 refers to personal protective equipment or PPE. This standard was implemented to ensure safety equipment be provided for employees to protect them wherever it is necessary by reason of hazards of process or environment, chemical hazards, radiological hazards, or mechanical irritants encountered in a manner capable of causing injury or impairment in the function of any part of the body through absorption, inhalation or physical contact. This regulation is important because PPE protects you from anything hazardous from injuring you! Without PPE it is possible to get burned or even get something harsh into your eyes, which can cause permanent damage. Some examples of PPE are safety glasses, lab coats, or gloves, again these are only some of the examples.
