What is the importance of using protective clothing?
Protective clothing exists to prevent injury and harm to all parts of the body including hands, arms, feet and the torso. There are different types of equipment and clothing available depending on the tasks or hazards the wearer will be exposed to, such as high temperatures, hazardous materials, heavy equipment or working in low visibility conditions.
