Which of the following is an example of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)?

  1. Safety goggles

  2. First aid kit

  3. Fire extinguisher

  4. Flashlight

The correct answer is: Safety goggles

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) refers to specialized clothing or equipment worn by individuals to protect against health and safety hazards. Safety goggles are an example of PPE as they are specifically designed to protect the eyes from chemicals, debris, or harmful substances while working in an environment where such risks are present. They form an essential part of occupational safety gear, ensuring that workers can perform their tasks while minimizing the risk of injury to the eyes. The other options listed, while important for workplace safety, do not fall under the category of PPE. A first aid kit is crucial for treating injuries but does not protect the wearer; it is intended for emergency response. A fire extinguisher is a safety device used to put out fires but does not provide personal protection. Similarly, a flashlight is a tool for illumination and does not offer protection against hazards. Therefore, safety goggles are the clear example of PPE in this context.
