Personal protective equipment (PPE) includes items like gloves, face masks, goggles, and coveralls that are designed to protect the wearer from injury or infection. PPE has several key components, including N95 face masks, goggles, face shields, coveralls, aprons, head covers, and gloves. The proper process for donning PPE involves hand sanitization, putting on items in a specific order like coveralls, shoe covers, gloves, and a face mask to protect both the wearer and others from harm.
