The study employed a case study design. The respondents of the study were choosen purposively and randomly.Data were collected from both primary and secondary sources. The data collection methods used to collect primary data were;questionnaire,interviews and observation.The secondary data were collected through documentary review.The Quantitative data were analysed by using SPSS while qualitative data were analysed using thematic analysis. The study found that personal protective equipment are adequately provided at TCC. Although the wearing of PPEs is determined by age,gender,occupation and work experince. More to that,it was found that to a large extents,the provision and and use of PPEs have managed to reduce accident from year 2011 to 2015. Although some challenges were also detected such as low quality PPEs provided by the company, scarcity of equipment and bureaucracy in the provision of personal protective equipment to workers. The study recommended that there should be effective inspection to the TCC.This should be done by the government via its agency (OSHA). Secondly there should be adequate PPE. Thirdly, employees who do not wear PPE for their own ignorance should be penalised. Fourthly, the company not adhering to safety regulations should be penalised. Fifthly, training to the employees should continue to be provided	en_US
