Protective clothing and equipment required.
Protective equipment needed depends completely upon the hazard being protected against. Without information on the hazard, it is impossible to say what protective clothing might be needed. Available protective equipment includes clothing, ear plugs, fire retardant material, hard hat or helmet, respirator, goggles or safety glasses, safety lanyard, steel toed boots, rubber boots, fully enclosed breathing apparatus.
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.
