To determine the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) for tasks in a warehouse, we need to consider the typical hazards present in such an environment. Warehouses often involve risks such as moving machinery, handling materials, and potential exposure to dust or chemicals. Based on these considerations, the following PPE items are generally applicable:

  1. Safety shoes: Essential for protecting feet from heavy objects that might be dropped, as well as providing slip resistance on potentially slick surfaces.

  2. Safety glasses/goggles: Important for protecting eyes from dust, debris, or any chemical splashes that might occur during handling or processing tasks.

  3. Hi-Vis clothing: Necessary for ensuring visibility in environments where there is vehicular or machinery movement, reducing the risk of accidents.

The other options may be applicable depending on specific tasks or hazards:

  • Respirators: Required if there is a risk of inhaling harmful dust, fumes, or chemicals. This would depend on the specific materials being handled or processed in the warehouse.

  • Coated gloves with an ANSI cut resistance level of 4: Necessary if tasks involve handling sharp objects or materials that could cause cuts. The need for such gloves would depend on the specific nature of the materials being handled.

In summary, the PPE that generally applies to most warehouse tasks includes safety shoes, safety glasses/goggles, and Hi-Vis clothing. The need for respirators and cut-resistant gloves depends on specific tasks and hazards present in the warehouse.
