Disposable gloves, barrier devices, and eyewear are examples of

• A. Safety Gear
• B. Protective Tools
• C. Medical Supplies
• D. Personal Protective Equipment

Answer: (D)

Personal Protective Equipment refers to gear worn or used to shield the wearer from health hazards. Disposable gloves, barrier devices, and eyewear fit this category because each creates a barrier between the body and potential hazards like bodily fluids or splashes. Their primary purpose is protection, not just routine care or general equipment, which is why they are categorized as PPE. The other terms are less precise: safety gear is broader and can include items not specifically intended to prevent exposure; medical supplies describe items for medical treatment regardless of protective function; protective tools isn’t a standard term and sounds too generic.
