Level __ protection Is a fully encapsulated suit that provides the highest level of protection against chemical absorption and inhalation
Level A
Level __ Protection Is a non-encapsulated chemical resistant suit. It Provides Maximum Respiratory Protection as with a level A, but a lesser skin protection capability
Level B
Level ___ Protection is a non encapsulated Chemical splash suit.
The respiratory system is permitted to be protected with an air purifying respirator. This level of protection provides a lesser skin and respiratory protection then level a and B seats
Level C
Level __ Protection Is a limited protection ensemble, such as structural firefighting gear
Level D
Class 1 ensemble is defined in NFPA____, Standard on vapor protective ensembles for hazardous materials emergencies, and meets the OSHA level A requirement.

Clothing designed to shield or isolate individuals from the chemical, physical, and biological hazards that may be encountered during operations involving hazardous materials
Chemical protective clothing
_______ Agents will have a distinguishable odor or taste and are able to penetrate the skin
Symptoms are immediate.
Chemical
Nerve Agents-_______________
Blister Agents-_______________
Blood Agents-_______________
Sarin and VX
AKA Vesicants, are mustard Agents
Hydrogen cyanide and arsine
_______ Protective clothing is also required when skin and respiratory system protection is needed at the highest level
Biological protective clothing
_______ Agents will not have an odor or taste and do not penetrate the skin
Delayed Symptoms
Biological agents
Radiological protection
_______ particles that create the least exposure risk.
Can be easily blocked, But inhalation or indigestion can be particularly damaging to tissues
Alpha particles
Radiological protection
Particles are stronger than alpha particles, but can be blocked by material such as sheet of aluminum.
Direct exposure can cause burns and can be ingested or inhaled
Exposure Can be lethal in some cases
Beta particles
Radiological protection
Comparable to an x-ray. They penetrate more than alpha or beta particles but have a less damaging affects.
They require higher levels of shielding for protection
Gamma Rays
Radiological protection
Electromagnetic radiation that requires higher levels of shielding for protection. The chances of encountering them at a hazardous materials incident are remote, so they are much less of a threat than alpha, beta, and gamma radiation.
They are produced primarily at lower levels by machines in controlled environments
X-rays
Biological protective clothing selection must meet the OSHA 29 CFR ___________
