Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) plays an essential role in preventing workplace accidents, particularly through the proper use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Knowledge of PPE should be introduced early, especially to vocational high school students who are preparing to enter the industrial workforce. This community service program aimed to improve students' knowledge of PPE among Industrial Electronics Engineering students at SMK Mambaul Ulum Gresik. The program consisted of a pre-test, educational sessions on the fundamentals of OSH, workplace hazard identification, the types and functions of PPE, interactive discussions, hazard analysis in the practical workshop, and a post-test as the evaluation method. The results indicated an improvement in students' knowledge after participating in the educational activities. Students were able to identify workplace hazards, determine appropriate PPE based on occupational risks, and understand the importance of PPE in preventing workplace accidents. This program is expected to support the development of an occupational safety culture among vocational students before entering the industrial workplace.
