Common Types of Safety Equipment for the Job Site

There are many items you might need to stay safe on a construction site. The gear you will wear is known as personal protective equipment or PPE. PPE items you will likely need include:

• Hard hats - Required on a construction site, hard hats protect you from falling objects.
• Safety Glasses or Goggles - Protecting your eyes on the job site is important.
• Hearing Protection - On many job sites, you will need hearing protection due to the loud noises.
• Safety Boots - Most construction workers will wear safety boots to ensure their feet are protected from stepping on something or having something fall on their foot.
• Safety Gloves - Anytime you work with power tools or handle hazardous materials, you will need safety gloves
• Reflective Clothing - It's often necessary to make it easier for people to see you.
• Dust Mask - During some types of jobs, you might need to wear a dust mask to protect yourself.
• Knee Pads - Often used when laying flooring, knee pads can help protect you from injury and soreness.
• Rain Gear - Sometimes, you have to work on a job site in the rain. With the right rain gear, you can remain protected from the elements.

These are the most common types of PPE you will wear and use on a construction job site.

Along with PPE, you might need safety gear for the actual job site. Safety orange fencing and fence stakes can be used to help block off specific areas of a job site. You can also use a silt fence to keep people out and to create a barrier.

If your construction site will take over a portion of a road, driveway, sidewalk, or parking lot, you might also need traffic cones. Caution tape can also be helpful on the job site when you need to block off a specific area and provide the right warning.
