Which of the following is included in PPE types and selections?

• A. Head protection (helmets must conform to NFPA 1951); Face and eye protection; hearing protection; outerwear; hand protection; foot protection; harnesses.
• B. Head protection; Face and eye protection; hearing protection; outerwear
• C. Respiratory protection, fall arrest systems, ladders, and lighting.
• D. Vehicle wheels, headlights, and signaling devices.

Answer: (A)

Personal protective equipment covers gear that protects different parts of the body from hazards, and a proper PPE selection should span multiple protective categories. The best option lists the major PPE areas: head protection (helmets that meet NFPA 1951), face and eye protection, hearing protection, outerwear, hand protection, foot protection, and fall-protection harnesses. This reflects a comprehensive approach to safeguarding workers by covering all key body areas and ensuring equipment meets recognized standards, which is central to effective PPE selection.

The other options miss important categories or include items that aren’t PPE. For example, one option omits hand, foot, and fall-protection gear, while another includes tools or equipment (like ladders or lighting) that aren’t PPE.
