Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Standard work uniforms or work clothes offer level D protection.There is no respiratory protection.Standard precautions are important to take when level D protection is used.Level A protection provides maximum protection because it offers self-contained breathing apparatus, fully encloses the individual, and includes chemical-resistant boots and gloves.Level B protection provides respiratory protection but less skin protection.Used by trained responders, this PPE includes self-contained breathing apparatus, a hooded chemical-resistant suit, and face, boot, and glove protection.First responders (those emergency personnel first on the scene) and hospital personnel are trained and fitted to use level C protection.As with level A and B protection, level C protection presents danger to the user, primarily for dehydration and hyperthermia.
