Warm Zone
Level A cpc:
Highest level of SKIN AND RESRIRATORY protection. SCBA and vapor tight.
Level B cpc:
Highest level of RESPIRATORY protection. SCBA and SPLASH protection.
Level C cpc:
Minimal skin and respiratory protection. Used when contaminants have been identified and when atmosphere is not oxygen deficient. APR’s and PAPR’s are examples.
FF protective clothing is not classified as cpc
APR can only be used when?
- Authorized by IC
- air contaminant identified
- oxygen is between 19.5% and 23.5%

Two ways to protect the public from the effects of hazardous material discharge:
1) Evacuation
