Taking Safety For Granted Picture This
What’s wrong in this picture?

All PPE should be free of holes or tears. Also very important: PPE needs to fit well. A major complaint, especially about gloves, is that they are awkward and don’t allow free movement. PPE is never a one-size-fits-all proposition. Providing the appropriate gloves is critical, since lack of hand protection is a major cause of injuries.
