PPE

Slips, trips and falls were the leading cause of injuries to Houston workers, growing by 11 percent in 2018. Slips, trips and falls are hazards faced by all employees on a daily basis. Certain personal protective equipment (PPE), such as slip-resistant shoes and floor mats can help to reduce the risk of a slip, trip or fall. However, PPE should never be used as a replacement for safe work practices. Types of PPE may include:

  • Slip-resistant shoes
  • Steel toe shoes
  • Fall arrest equipment
  • Hard hats
  • Goggles
  • Nets
  • Roll bars
  • Safety platforms
