The PPE of an electronics assembly line and that of a welding shop have nothing in common, even though both say "gloves and glasses" on the requisition. What changes is the dominant hazard, and with it the level, the material and even the color of the garment.

These are the eight industries we serve most in Baja California, with what each one typically needs. It is not a closed list: if your process is not here, the assessment works the same way.
Thin-gauge gloves with polyurethane coating, clear anti-fog lenses, non-metallic footwear to clear the detector arch, and ESD smocks. The dominant hazard is not impact: it is electrostatic discharge and fine cuts.
High cut-level gloves for burred sheet metal, hearing protection for press noise, footwear with a toe cap and oil-resistant sole, and face shields for hot work. Here impact and cut do rule.
PPE traceability, gloves that leave no surface-contaminating residue, cleanroom gowns, non-metallic footwear and strict consumable control. Documentation weighs as much as the product.
White PVC boots with a sole for soapy wet floors, bouffants, face masks, powder-free nitrile gloves and gowns. Food safety rules: white is not aesthetics, it is visual contamination control.
Hard hats with chin straps, toe-cap boots with slip-resistant soles, class 2 or 3 vests depending on the roadway, leather gloves and complete height equipment under NOM-009-STPS-2011.
High-visibility vests for forklift traffic, toe-cap footwear against falling pallets, grip gloves for loading and hearing protection where alarms are constant.
Cleanroom coveralls, shoe covers, powder-free gloves, face masks and entry consumables on scheduled delivery. Running out of a consumable stops the line just like an equipment failure.
Welding helmets, long-cuff leather gloves, aprons, respiratory protection against metal fume and toe-cap footwear with spark resistance. Heat and particulates rule.
