💡 What Do You Already Know?

Before we dive into the technical aspects of personal protective equipment (PPE), let's explore what you already know and have experienced with protective gear in various situations. 

Reflection Questions:

• Think about times you've worn something to protect yourself from getting dirty, hurt, or sick. This might include gloves while cleaning, masks during illness, safety glasses, or even sunscreen. What situations made you decide to use protection? 

• When you see healthcare workers, food service employees, or others wearing protective equipment, what thoughts go through your mind? 

Record your answer in your Student Workbook.
