Which of the following is NOT a component of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)?

The uniform is not typically classified as a component of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Personal Protective Equipment is intended to protect the wearer from specific hazards and includes items that provide a tangible barrier against risks. Face protection, gloves, and specialized footwear all serve specific safety functions, such as shielding the face from chemical splashes, protecting the hands from contaminants, and reducing the risk of foot injuries in hazardous environments.

While a uniform may contribute to a professional appearance and may include elements that promote safety (like high-visibility colors), it does not inherently fulfill the protective roles defined for PPE. Thus, it is categorized separately from the specialized gear designed explicitly for protection against workplace hazards.
