Which item is not listed as part of Forestry PPE?

• A. Safety Helmet
• B. Ear protection program
• C. Gloves
• D. High-Vis clothing

Answer: (B)

PPE refers to the actual gear you wear to protect yourself from hazards. In forestry, this includes items like a safety helmet to shield the head, gloves to protect the hands, and high-visibility clothing to make you easily seen. Hearing protection is also worn as gear, but the option in question describes an ear protection program, which is about safety management—policy, training, and procedures for using hearing protection—not a physical item you wear. That makes it not a piece of PPE itself. So the best choice is the ear protection program because PPE consists of tangible equipment, not programs or policies.
