Kitting your personal protective equipment is a sure-fire way to make sure your crew has the supplies they need to stay safe. Help your workers avoid being one of the [2.9 million non-fatal workplace injuries](https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/osh.pdf) that happen every year; be prepared. 

**PPE Kits save money and time.** Plus, you get the added assurance that all pieces of equipment will coordinate with each other. That’s pretty important when we’re talking about gear like [fall protection](https://shop.quadcitysafety.com/store/product.cfm?pID=7C514B4C4F127F56), [respirators](https://shop.quadcitysafety.com/store/product.cfm?pID=7453444C4A1874) and confined space equipment. But, how do you know what you need in your kit? 

**You need a PPE Checklist!** 

Let's identify hazards on your worksite and spot ways you can improve safety. This checklist doesn’t cover every hazard, but it a perfect way to get started. It’s on you to do a thorough hazard analysis of your worksite! Let’s get ‘er done!
