abstract="In 2015, there were over 3.2 million non-fatal workplace accidents and an estimated 3876 fatal accidents in the European Union (EU). Safety equipment (SE), also known as personal protective equipment, is a required component in most workplaces and is closely regulated. Mandated by the EU's updated Regulation 2016/425, the purpose of SE is to provide protection against respiratory, eye, ear, hand, head, or skin insults. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in the United States and the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety regulate SE in their respective countries. It is important to recognize that SE may be used both in and out of the workplace (e.g. home woodworking, hobby auto repair). Little is known about the risks of contact dermatitis due to SE.
