Which PPE level uses a splash resistant garment with APR cannister?

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

Answer: (B)

The concept here is matching the level to the type of respiratory protection used with splash protection. Level C is defined by a splash-resistant garment worn with an air-purifying respirator (APR) that uses a canister. This setup filters contaminants from the air without requiring a fully vapor-tight suit or an on-board air supply. Level A involves a vapor-tight, fully encapsulating suit with an SCBA, which is more protective than splash protection. Level B uses a splash-resistant suit with an SCBA, and Level D is just work clothing with no protection. So the combination of splash protection plus an APR canister fits Level C.
