Safety First! Here is a list of the best PPE

Pair of glasses with clear lenses and a tortoiseshell frame.

Best Safety Glasses! So many colors and works well for process shots.

A black air respirator mask with blue smoke or mist swirling around it, against a dark, textured background.

Masks suck. But the RZ mask is easily the most comfortable and works best with pony tails/diverse hairstyles.

A pair of work gloves with one glove showing the black side and the other showing the yellow side, labeled with 'D-ROC MAGID' and 'ANSI CUT A9'

Best Gloves for small hands! Yes, I’ve cut off a finger. So now I carve with A9 gloves.

Box of Medline Restore nitrile exam gloves with MaxOat+ technology, size S, featuring a graphic of oats and grains on a wooden background.

Best disposable gloves! These come in all the necessary sizes and are great for dry skin.

Black and blue wireless neckband headphones with yellow ear tips and in-line controls.

Best ear protection! Bluetooth/comfort/hearing protection all in one.
