Personal protective equipment protection level

Has the employer implemented the use of engineering controls, work practices, and personal protective equipment to reduce and maintain employee exposure to or below published exposure levels for hazardous substances and health hazards not regulated by 29 CFR Part 1910, Subparts G and Z (e.g., heat stress, lifting hazards) [OSHA Reference. 120(g)(2)]... 

The need to provide protective measures will be directly related to the level of potential hazards which may be assessed from the procedures outlined above. Measures concerned with reaction control are frequently mentioned in the following text, but details of techniques and equipment for personal protection, though usually excluded from the scope of this work, are obviously of great importance. 

Personal Protective Equipment At all times wear protective Level A until you know what you are dealing with upon learning the exact type of infectious material(s) you are dealing with, consult proper toxicological levels and downgrade as necessary for safety and comfort of operation. 

Personal Protective Equipment Respiratory protection is required (positive pressure, full face piece, NIOSH-approved SCBA will be worn). When response personnel respond to handle rescue or reconnaissance, they will wear Level A protection that should be worn when the highest level of respiratory, skin, eye, and mucous membrane protection is needed. This level consists of a fully-encapsulated, vapor-tight, chemical-resistant suit, chemical-resistant boots with steel toe and shank, chemical-resistant inner/outer gloves (butyl rubber glove M3 and M4 Norton, chemical protective glove set), coveralls, hard hat, and self-contained (positive pressure) breathing apparatus (SCBA). 

Personal Protective Equipment Laboratory personnel should wear appropriate chemical cartridge respirator, Butyl or Neoprene rubber gloves, and full-length faces shields with forehead protection depending on the amount of exposure. However, rescue personnel should be equipped with self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and have available and use as appropriate Level A personal protective equipment (PPE). When you do not know the degree of hazard, use Level A personal protective equipment (PPE) as follows ...
