Abstract MD thesis. A review of statistical data (breakdown of occupational accidents and diseases by site of injury) and considerations on French occupational safety and health legislation are followed by a detailed enumeration of the various types of personal protective equipment and the parts of the body they are intended to protect (hands, feet, head, eyes, ears). A short chapter is devoted to ways of ensuring that personal protective equipment is used.
