The general types of PPE you may need are protective clothing, eye, face and head protection, respiratory protection and hearing protection. Protective clothing includes fire resistant gloves and shirts to prevent protection from heat, ultraviolet radiation and sparks, you may need to wear fire resistant apron, coveralls and leggings or boots plus shoulder and ear covers when doing overhead work. You could need rubber soled shoes, non-conductive gloves or special floor mats to guard against electrical shocks. Always wear pants without cuffs and keep pockets empty and sealed to keep sparks from settling there.
