Workplace accidents are one of the main challenges in maintaining labor safety in various industrial sectors. The use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is an important effort in minimizing the risk of accidents in the workplace. However, the level of compliance in the use of PPE is still a crucial factor that affects the number of work accidents. This study aims to determine the effect of the use of PPE on the rate of work accidents, and analyze the extent to which the use of PPE can reduce the risk of accidents in the work environment. This study uses the Literature Review method. Data were collected from 15 relevant scientific articles published between 2020 and 2025, and obtained through electronic databases, namely Google Scholar, Pubmedia and Pubmed. Articles were selected referring to the inclusion and exclusion criteria relevant to the topic. The study results showed that human behavior in using PPE is influenced by three main factors, namely predisposing factors, reinforcing factors, and enabling factors. In addition, there is a significant relationship between the use of PPE and a decrease in the rate of work accidents. Workers who compliantly use PPE experience a decrease in the incidence of work accidents by 80%. In conclusion, the use of PPE plays an important role in reducing the risk of work accidents, so a sustainable strategy is needed to increase compliance with PPE use in the work environment.
