Which combination of PPE constitutes OSHA minimum safety equipment in the provided material?

• A. Goggles, Face Mask, Gloves, and First aid Kit
• B. Helmet and Steel Toe Boots
• C. Goggles, Mask, and Gloves
• D. Respirator and Glasses

Answer: (C)

The minimum PPE set focuses on protecting the most exposed areas: eyes, respiratory tract, and hands. Goggles shield the eyes from debris and splashes, a mask reduces inhalation of dust or aerosols, and gloves protect the hands from cuts, punctures, or chemical contact. Taken together, these three items provide baseline protection for common hazards described in the material. The other options miss at least one essential protection category or include non-PPE like a first aid kit, or emphasize head/foot protection instead of the core eye, respiratory, and hand protections.
