INTRODUCTIONThe objective of the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Program is

to protect employees from the risk of injury by creating a barrieragainst workplace hazards. Personal protective equipment is not a

substitute for good engineering or administrative controls or good

work practices, but should be used in conjunction with these controls

to ensure the safety and health of employees. Personal protective

equipment will be provided, used, and maintained when it has beendetermined that its use is required and that such use will lessen the

likelihood of occupational injury or illness.

Airports have many hazardous work environments that require

vigilance and the correct personal protective equipment (PPE). Workers

at busy metropolitan airports and smaller, private fields need to abideby the safety protocols in place, but should also look to their own

safety by making sure the equipment they are given is in good repair.

Aviation can potentially increase the rate of disease and airport

operators need to protect passengers, staff and the public with fast,

efficient, collaborative decision-making and action is crucial.

CONCLUSIONAirport was one of the most hazardous working places.

Hence, all of their workers that works inside should be wear

all the approval personal protection equipment that already

fix by the law or their management. All of hazardous work

environments must be pair with the selection of PPE used

such as when the worker works on the case of airplane theyshould wear fall arrestor or safety harness. Workers at busy

metropolitan airports and smaller, private fields need to

abide by the safety protocols in place, but should also look

to their own safety by making sure the equipment they aregiven is in good repair. Because of that, workers need to

wear self or personal protection equipment to protect their

self from any hazard, damage or injuries due to any works

that they had done.
