• Ear defenders: No. Ear defenders would probably not be helpful for this type of work or load.
• Goggles: No. goggles would probably not be helpful for this type of work or load.
• Waterproof coveralls: No. waterproof coveralls would not be required as PPE for this type of work.
• Protective footwear and gloves: Yes. protective footwear would reduce the risk of harm if part of the load fell onto Paul's feet during off-loading and suitable gloves could reduce the risk of harm to Paul's hands as he is securing the load.
