- Hand, foot, and body protection gear: this includes gloves, safety boots, and protective clothing to shield against physical, chemical, or biological hazards.
- Earplugs or earmuffs: to protect hearing in environments with high noise levels.
- Respirators: to ensure safe breathing when there is a risk of inhaling hazardous substances or when adequate ventilation is not possible.
- Fall protection equipment: such as harnesses to prevent falls when working at heights.
What is the greatest hazard of a confined space?

What is an example of a confined space?
