Personal Protective Equipment Introduction. Personal protective equipment, rather known as PPE, is a protective outfit or garment designed to protect the person wearing it from any occupational injury that may occur. The type of hazards that the protective equipment may protect include biohazards, electrical hazards, heat, chemicals, or even airborne hazards. The primary purpose of the protective equipment is to reduce levels of employee exposure to any occupational hazards that might occur during the execution of an organization’s operations. According to Cheek (2020), the PPE acts as a barrier between the body of the employee and the professional environment. Research shows that a properly designed protective equipment can not only ensure the safest working condition of an employee but also lasts long for a couple of years. Whereas personal protective equipment minimizes significant levels of injury, there is a need to use the ADDIE model to design a training module on personal protective equipment (PPE).

Egocentrism in Adolescence article review David Elkind, the author of the article Egocentrism in Adolescence bases his paper on the previous work of Piaget. He expounds on the outlined different forms of egocentrism and elaborates the cognitive growth in the primary stages. The Piagetian theory states that egocentrism is the lack of comprehensive differentiation within some kind of interaction by regarding oneself more than the others around. He says that the same mental structures transform a kid from one form of egocentrism to the other through dialect. In children aged 0 to 2 years, they have Sensori-motor Egocentrism. Here, children perceive that the presence of an object depends upon their existence. This, however, develops when the infant is about to turn one year, and he can’t find the object, so he finds it. From 2 to 6 years, children experience Pre-operational Egocentrism. During this age bracket, children rapidly develop, and they learn how to acquire and utilize language. According to Piaget, newly acquired egocentrism gives the capacity for representation in the form of symbols, but they can’t differentiate between words…
