Read the following extract and correct the 5 missing and incorrect semicolons.

Personal Protective Equipment

Personal protective equipment, better known as PPE, is designed to keep you safe in your place of employment. Making your workplace safe includes; providing instructions, procedures and training to encourage people to work safely and responsibly.

Even where specialised controls and safe systems of work have been applied, some hazards might remain. These include; dangers to the lungs, the head and feet, the eyes, the skin, and/or the body. PPE is needed in these cases to reduce the risk of injury.

Maintenance

PPE must be properly looked after and stored when not in use, e.g. in a dry, clean cupboard. If it is reusable, it must be cleaned and kept in good condition.

Answer:

Here's the corrected version of the text with the missing and incorrect semicolons fixed:

I've added semicolons after "feet" and "the eyes" to correctly separate items in a list within a sentence, and I've removed the semicolons after "includes" and "include" because they were used incorrectly.
