Abstract:
This article is dedicated to exploring the main problems associated with the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) in the workplace. While PPE plays a critical role in protecting workers from physical, chemical, and infectious hazards, its effective use is hindered by issues such as discomfort, inadequate training, non-compliance with regulations, and organizational barriers. The study was conducted through a literature review, a survey of 150 workers, and interviews with 10 supervisors. The results indicate that discomfort, poor PPE quality, and worker resistance contribute to an increase in workplace injuries. The discussion proposes solutions such as improving PPE design, enhancing training, and implementing positive incentives to address these issues. The article emphasizes the need for a comprehensive approach to ensure worker safety.
