Workers across industries are exposed to a variety of hazards at the workplace. The use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is an important strategy for preventing exposure to hazards that could result in injuries and illnesses among workers of Dangote cement industry. This particularly applies more to workers in work environment where it may not be practical to adopt other hazard mitigation strategies due to various constraints. Despite the widely acknowledged benefits of PPE use, studies have shown that PPE use remains low, inconsistent and inappropriate. Studies conducted have concentrated more on utilization levels of PPE rather than determinants of use. This study therefore ought to identify factors that influence use of PPE.},
