We use chalk to provide a better grip on fitness equipment barbells, rings, kettlebells, dumbbells, pullup bars, etc. Excess moisture and sweat can led to slippery services and injuries. Using chalk properly is as much a safety device as safety bars on a squat rack.
HOWEVER the use of chalk can be abused.
