For instance, a worker near a construction site might prone to injury in case of any object or bolt or hand tool or loose material falls from an elevated platform and strikes on the head of a worker. Therefore, wearing safety helmet will give protection against possible fall hazard. In addition, there are other personal protective equipment such as goggles, gloves, harness, earplug, and footwear are utmost important at workplace and should be used depending on the nature of work and risks associated. However, it is the tendency of the workers to avoid using PPE. This reflects that they undermine personal protective equipment benefits.
