INADEQUATE SUPPLY AND USE OF PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:

Particularly in high risk environments such as in mines, on construction sites, and in situations where strong chemicals are used, employees should have access to suitable protective equipment and should be trained in how to use it properly.

Many employers, however, ignore the safety regulations, and fail to ensure that their employees have access to the necessary safety equipment, or that they know how to use it. And, because many employees are unaware of their rights in this regard (or because they are scared that they might lose their jobs), they do not ask their employers for safety equipment or safety training.
