PPE used to be “grab some gloves and hope for the best.” The industry is shifting hard toward smart, specialized, and comfort-focused gear.
Cut-proof gloves with touch-screen fingertips. Safety glasses with fog-resistant coatings. Respirators that actually fit without feeling like a medieval torture device.

Companies are investing more in PPE compliance because they’ve finally realized the obvious: when workers are comfortable, they keep the gear on — and accidents drop. Expect more ergonomic designs, lighter materials, and tech integration across the board.
