Description

Face protection refers to the specific type of personal protective equipment (PPE) worn on the face, including safety glasses, goggles, respirators, and a variety of face shields. This PPE covers the eyes, nose, and the rest of the face against workplace hazards like chemical burns, toxic airborne particles, and radiation, to name a few. Workers in manufacturing, construction, mining, and healthcare are required to wear these as mandated by OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) and similar regulatory bodies.
