Which of the following is NOT a component of personal protective equipment (PPE)?

Fitted uniforms are not traditionally categorized as a component of personal protective equipment (PPE). PPE encompasses items specifically designed to protect the wearer from hazards that may cause injury or illness. Common examples include gloves, safety goggles, and respirators, each serving a vital role in protecting against physical, chemical, or biological hazards.

Gloves protect the hands from hazardous materials, safety goggles shield the eyes from harmful substances or flying debris, and respirators safeguard the respiratory system from airborne contaminants. While a fitted uniform may provide a level of modesty or identification, it does not inherently offer the same level of protection against these hazards and therefore does not fit into the established category of PPE.
