PPE is designed to ___________________ me against workplace _____________________ . When we go on site I need good strong ______________ _____________________ to protect my feet from things like dampness, in case I ____________ something on my foot and also in case I _____________________ on an up-turned nail. My boss always asks me to use safety gloves to protect my ______________________. In fact, once I had to wear arm-length ____________________ when we were working on some _______________ |On site I also have to wear a safety ____________________ all the time. This is a good thing because it protects my head from any ___________________ ________________________. Working with other trades, such the carpenters, can be hazardous because they make lots of ______________________ with their power tools. If the noise is above ____________________ we have to use ______________ ______________________, otherwise my hearing could be damaged. Because of all the sawdust they create when they are cutting wood, they regularly have to wear a _____________ ___________________, which stops them breathing in the dust.
