There are many examples of personal protective equipment. Some examples include:
- Helmet
- Eye goggles and welding shields
- Ear plugs and ear muffs
- Masks and respirators
- Work gloves and electric rubber gloves
- Knee and elbow pads
- Steel-toe boots
- Rugged, warm, close-fitting, and fire retardant clothing
- Air quality monitors

- Self-rescue equipment
Many injuries and fatalities can be prevented if miners use personal protective equipment. Unfortunately, too many people choose not to wear recommended or required equipment because putting it on is too tedious or wearing it is too uncomfortable. People die because of decisions like these. Always put safety first.
