Personal protective equipment (PPE) refers to protective clothing, helmets, goggles, or other gear designed to protect the wearer's body or clothing from injury by electrical hazards, heat, chemicals, and infection, for job-related occupational safety and health purposes, and in sports, martial arts, combat, etc. Personal armor is combat-specialized protective gear.
PPE can also be used to protect the working environment from pesticide application, pollution or infection from the worker (for example in a microchip factory).
The protection may be important in both ways, as with the use of disposable gloves by surgeons and dentists.
Protective clothing is also worn for contact sports, such as ice hockey and American football. Baseball players wear sliding shorts and a cup under their pants. See baseball clothing and equipment, goalie mask, jockstrap.
In British legislation the term PPE does not cover items such as armour.
Common protective materials include Nomex and Kevlar.
The terms "protective gear" and "protective clothing" are in many cases interchangeable; "protective clothing" is applied to traditional categories of clothing, and "gear" is a more general term and preferably means uniquely protective categories, such as pads, guards, shields, masks, etc.
For riding a motorcycle, protective headgear and eyegear are required by law in many countries.
