ABSTRACT

Personal protective equipment (PPE), such as safety clothing, is very important to protect yourself. Some people think it clever or tough not to use protection. They are very sad and will die or be injured long before you! Some things are obvious – such as when holding a hot or sharp exhaust you may get burnt or cut! Other things such as breathing in brake dust, or working in a noisy area, do not produce immediately noticeable effects but could affect you later in life.
