Which PPE level provides a splash resistant garment with SCBA bottle?

• A. Level A: Air tight, vapor resistant garment
• B. Level C: Splash resistant garment with APR (cannister)
• C. Level D: No protection
• D. Level B: Splash resistant garment with SCBA bottle

Answer: (D)

Understanding PPE levels for hazmat response, the combination of a splash-resistant garment with an SCBA bottle corresponds to Level B. This level provides the strongest respiratory protection available non-encapsulated, using a self-contained breathing apparatus, while the splash-resistant clothing protects the skin from splashes and light exposure. It’s different from Level A, which is fully encapsulated and air-tight, and from Level C, which uses an air-purifying respirator with splash protection, and Level D, which offers no special protection. So, the description matches Level B: splash-resistant garment plus SCBA.
