Which CPC level provides splash protection and includes a respirator?

• A. Level A
• B. Level B
• C. Level C
• D. Level D

Answer: (C)

PPE level selection is based on the combination of skin/eye protection and respiratory protection required for the hazard. Level C provides splash protection with a chemical-resistant surface and includes a respirator to guard the lungs. The atmosphere is assumed to have contaminants that require respiratory protection but not to demand a fully encapsulating suit, so an air-purifying or powered air-purifying respirator is used along with splash-protective clothing. This setup is appropriate when there is known chemical exposure with adequate oxygen, allowing you to rely on the respirator rather than a fully enclosed suit.
