Respirators are designed to filter out harmful particles, gases, and vapors that can cause respiratory problems, while safety harnesses provide fall protection for workers who perform tasks at height. Gloves serve to protect hands from chemicals, sharp objects, and other hazards, while heat-resistant blankets offer protection against the high temperatures generated in welding and other industrial processes.

The importance of using PPE products cannot be overstated, as they are crucial in preventing injuries and fatalities in the workplace.
