Working together

PPE is most effective when worn properly, 100% of the time exposed to hazards – and it works best when it works together.

See how 3M technologies and services work together to help encourage consistent use, with options that may help you with worker communication, compatibility, comfort, fit or performance needs.

From fogging eyewear to interrupted communications, when PPE doesn't work together, it can interfere with the job at hand. Workers may be tempted to remove PPE in hazardous areas – causing effective protection to drop.
