This category includes any and all equipment worn on the body to prevent injury or accidents during the fabricating and machining process. Often referred to as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), this includes garments and other devices to protect the worker from cutting edges, high temperatures, electricity, radiation, toxic chemicals and fumes, and any other byproduct of the fabricating process that could be harmful to the human body. Along with garments, this category includes devices such as shields, static or mobile, meant to protect the body, along with systems that test, sterilize, and restore PPE after use around toxic contaminants.
