<br />Agreement No.55080 <br /> <br />Level C. Liquid splash resistant ensemble, with same level of skin protection of Level B, <br />used when the concentration(s) and type(s) of airborne substances(s) are known and <br />the criteria for using air-purifying respirators are met. The following constitute Level C <br />equipment and should be considered for use: <br /> <br />· Liquid Chemical Splash Resistant Clothing (permeable or non-permeable) <br />· Liquid Chemical Splash Resistant Hood (permeable or non-permeable) <br />. Tight-fitting, Full Facepiece, Negative Pressure Air Purifying Respirator with the <br />appropriate cartridge(s) or canister(s) and P100 filter(s) for protection against <br />toxic industrial chemicals, particulates, and military specific agents. <br />. Tight-fitting, Full Facepiece, Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) with <br />chemically resistant hood with appropriate cartridge(s) or canister(s) and <br />high-efficiency filter(s) for protection against toxic industrial chemicals, <br />particulates, and military specific agents. <br />· Equipment or system batteries will include those that are rechargeable (e.g. <br />NiCad) or non-rechargeable with extended shelf life (e.g. Lithium) <br />· Chemical Resistant Gloves, including thermal, as appropriate to hazard <br />· Personal Cooling System; Vest or Full Suit with support equipment <br />· Hardhat <br />· Inner Chemical/Biological Resistant Garment <br />· Inner Gloves <br />· Chemical Resistant Tape <br />· Chemical Resistant Boots, Steel or Fiberglass Toe and Shank <br />· Chemical Resistant Outer Booties <br /> <br />Level D. Selected when no respiratory protection and minimal skin protection is <br />required, and the atmosphere contains no known hazard and work functions preclude <br />splashes, immersion, or the potential for unexpected inhalation of, or contact with, <br />hazardous levels of any chemicals. <br /> <br />· Escape mask for self-rescue <br /> <br />Note: During CBRNE response operations, the incident commander determines the <br />appropriate level of personal protective equipment. As a guide, Levels A, B, and Care <br />applicable for chemical/ biological/ radiological contaminated environments. Personnel <br />entering protective postures must undergo medical monitoring prior to and after entry. <br /> <br />All SCBAs should meet standards established by the National Institute for <br />Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) for occupational use by emergency <br />responders when exposed to Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear <br />(CBRN) agents in accordance with Special Tests under NIOSH 42 CFR 84.63(c), <br />procedure number RCT-CBRN-STP-0002, dated December 14,2001. ODP <br />anticipates making compliance with NIOSH SCBA CBRN certification a mandatory <br />requirement for all SCBAs purchased under the FY 2004 State Homeland Security <br />Grant Program. <br /> <br />31 <br />
