About this document

Understanding PPE by Mujeeb Ullah is a document available to read on EtoBox.

PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) is the last line of defense in the Hierarchy of Controls for managing workplace hazards, which prioritizes elimination, substitution, engineering controls, and administrative controls first. While PPE is essential for protecting workers, it does not eliminate risks and relies on human behavior, making it a reactive rather than preventive measure. The document emphasizes the importance of designing out hazards and controlling risks before resorting to PPE.
