Unit 4.1 DB: Proper PPE
Taking the time and doing a job right is the goal of good professionals in any workplace. An aspect of this is having on hand and properly using PPE when and as needed. Choose an activity you are familiar with that, when performed correctly, requires the use of PPE, such as certain aspects of car maintenance, painting, roof work, shoveling, or other. Describe in detail the PPE and other safety measures that should be used when performing that activity. Have you always followed these ‘best practices’ and if not, why? What injuries could result if proper PPE and best practices are not followed?
When replying to classmates, thoroughly review their answers and see if you can find other aspects or safety measures that should be reasonably used. Remember to offer thoughtful and helpful comments and to respond to any critiques in a positive way or ask for clarification.

Try to review all and extract the information as these will help demonstrate and provide useful applications for material from the textbook. |
