APPENDIX F<br />

Rubber overboots or disposable booties (as required)<br />

Safety glasses or goggles, face shield when handling liquids<br />

Hard hat<br />

Gloves as required by task (e.g., leather work gloves)<br />

Hearing protection (as required)<br />

Level C protection is used during Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and non-RCRA soil<br />

excavation, temporary storage, loading, backfilling and compaction, decontamination of equipment, and<br />

other activities where there is a potential for chemical exposure but where that exposure is below<br />

permissible exposure levels with the provided PPE. If air-monitoring information dictates that a higher<br />

degree of PPE is necessary, levels of protection are increased. PPE for Level C includes:<br />

Full face-piece air purifying respirator (APR)<br />

National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)/Mine Safety and Health<br />

Administration-approved APR cartridges (approved for use with the specific types of<br />

contaminants)<br />

Emergency escape respirator (optional, depending on the potential for emergency conditions)<br />

Coveralls (inner), cotton<br />

Coveralls (outer), chemical-resistant, disposable (e.g., Tyvek)<br />

Gloves (outer), chemical-resistant (e.g., nitrile)<br />

Gloves (inner), cotton or nitrile<br />

Boots, chemical-resistant, rubber, with steel toe and shank, or leather, with steel toe and<br />

shank with chemically resistant rubber overboot, non-slip soles.<br />

Hard hat<br />

Hearing protection (optional or as required)<br />

Level B protection is selected and implemented when it is determined through real time air monitoring<br />

and/or personnel sampling that the highest level of respiratory protection is necessary for site personnel.<br />

This level of protection is also used when the atmospheric contaminant(s) identified does not meet the<br />

selection criteria permitting the use of APR or when contaminants are unknown. There is a possibility that<br />

this may occur for some Project-specific work.<br />

PPE for Level B includes:<br />

Pressure-demand, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) or airline respirator (with<br />

attached 5-minute escape bottle)<br />

Coveralls (inner), cotton<br />
