No, personal protective equipment (PPE) is probably the least effective means of controlling exposure to workplace hazards, because its success depends on each person using it properly each day, every day and all day.
Much more effective is to:
An unworkable workplace temperature will be different depending on the nature of the work, whether it is performed inside or outside, the local climate, and the type of clothing and protective equipment used by employees in that workplace.For example, it is very, very hot in an steel mill and employees there use special clothing when doing their jobs. The temperatures there are clearly not unworkable, since people work there all the time. But those same temperatures, if encountered in an office setting, or even in other factories where special clothing is not used, would be clearly be unworkable.
A visual workplace uses signage and pictures to instruct workers on procedure and safety. It also increases productivity, efficiency, cost, quality and reliability.

You should use respiratory protective equipment when your work includes the possibility of being exposed to airborne concentrations of hazardous materials in excess of the exposure limit, or when required to do so by law, regulation, or the procedures at your workplace.
In the US, employers are required to provide protective clothing and equipment needed to protect employees from identified hazards in the workplace, but only when they are equipment that is specific to the workplace and are not suitable for use in everyday live. For example, some forms of safety glasses could be worn anywhere and need not be provided by the employer, although many will either provide them or contribute part of their cost.
"non-conformance to workplace layout and equipment" means that either the arrangement of the workplace or the equipment used in the workplace does not comply with what is supposed to be there.
Engineering designs the hazard out of the work. Administrative significantly limit daily exposure to hazards by controlling or manipulating the work schedule or the manner in which work is performed, e.g., job rotation. Work Practice includes workplace rules, safe and healthy work practices, and procedures for specific operations and Personal Protective Equipment reduces employee exposure to hazards when engineering and administrative controls are not feasible or effective in reducing these exposures to acceptable levels.
