It's no secret that commercial vehicle shops can be hazardous environments to work in, from heavy moving parts to powerful machinery. But that just means that shops need to be prepared with the right personal protective equipment for wherever a tech's job might take them.
To help make sure your shop has its bases covered, here are some things to keep in mind for your PPE:
Meets OSHA compliance
Addresses risk assessment
Size, fit, and comfort
Durability in multiple environments
Impact on flexibility, productivity
Easy to clean/sanitize
Ease of use
Professional, modern look
Material type
Availability in men's and women's sizes
