Great question! PPE is so important in the workplace. In my previous career I worked for a company that built locomotives and not wearing the proper PPE was not only dangerous but a violation of policy. Wearing PPE is important so you don't get hurt or injury yourself. Wearing safety glasses can keep debris from damaging your eyes. Gloves can keep your tools from slipping and cutting your hands. Hard hats or bump caps can keep your head safe from bumping it on something and causing a concussion. Steel toed boots or metatarsal boots can keep your foot from being crushed. An injury can be serious and sometimes cause expensive medical bills and loss of work. While PPE may not always be comfortable it is designed to keep us safe. I can remember times when wearing my safety glasses kept me from debris from welding that was being blown around by the fans from getting into my eyes. Hope this was helpful.
