Why is Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Essential?
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) acts as the first line of defense against potential hazards in histology laboratories. Lab coats protect the skin and clothing from chemical splashes. Gloves prevent direct contact with harmful substances and biological samples. Face shields and safety goggles protect the eyes from chemical splashes and flying debris. Consistent use of PPE significantly reduces the risk of accidents and exposure to hazardous materials.
