Almost all professional mechanics are wearing coveralls. That's PPE.
I've certainly seen a lot that wear gloves. That's PPE.
Goggles or safety glasses are common but not ubiquitous in the shops I've seen. That's PPE.
Ignoring masks that seem responsive to COVID, I haven't seen a lot of masks or respirators outside of shops where they're doing paint work, but I also don't get to see all the shop space and masks are intrusive, so probably if mechanics wear them, it's only when they perceive an accute risk. You don't usually keep your welding mask on all day, unless there's a lot of welding.
