EYE PROTECTION, which protects from blowing dust or particles, metal shavings, acids or caustic liquids, and welding light. HEARING PROTECTION, which protects from loud tools and machinery. UPPER BODY PROTECTION, high visibility hat, and vest. LOWER BODY PROTECTION, chaps' pants. HAND PROTECTION, which protects from sharp or hot objects, chemicals, or any electrical hazards. FOOT PROTECTION, which protects from falling or rolling objects, sharp or heavy objects, wet and slippery surfaces, uneven or hot surfaces.
