Selecting the correct Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is not merely a compliance exercise — it is a strategic investment in workforce safety, productivity, and legal protection. In Ethiopia, employers must align with the Labour Proclamation and international standards adopted by major contractors.

This guide walks safety managers through a structured selection process: hazard identification, risk assessment, standard matching, fit testing, and ongoing program review. We cover head, eye, hearing, respiratory, hand, foot, and body protection across construction, manufacturing, mining, and government sectors.
