INTRODUCTION
The objective of the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Program is to protect employees from the risk of injury by creating a barrier against workplace hazards. Personal protective equipment is not a substitute for good engineering or administrative controls or good work practices, but should be used in conjunction with these controls to ensure the safety and health of employees. Personal protective equipment will be provided, used, and maintained when it has been determined that its use is required and that such use will lessen the likelihood of occupational injury or illness. Airports have many hazardous work environments that require vigilance and the correct personal protective equipment (PPE). Workers at busy metropolitan airports and smaller, private fields need to abide by the safety protocols in place, but should also look to their own safety by making sure the equipment they are given is in good repair. Aviation can potentially increase the rate of disease and airport operators need to protect passengers, staff and the public with fast, efficient, collaborative decision-making and action is crucial.

CONCLUSION
Airport was one of the most hazardous working places. Hence, all of their workers that works inside should be wear all the approval personal protection equipment that already fix by the law or their management. All of hazardous work environments must be pair with the selection of PPE used such as when the worker works on the case of airplane they should wear fall arrestor or safety harness. Workers at busy metropolitan airports and smaller, private fields need to abide by the safety protocols in place, but should also look to their own safety by making sure the equipment they are given is in good repair. Because of that, workers need to wear self or personal protection equipment to protect their self from any hazard, damage or injuries due to any works that they had done.
