9. SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS A Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) usually consists of a face piece connected by a hose and a regulator to an air source carried by the wearer. I. COMPONENTS: F FULL FACEPIECE E EXHALATION VALVE E CYLINDER F E BREATHING TUBE HARNESS ASSEMBLY F REGULATOR G F AIR SUPPLY HOSE CYLINDER VALVE © NEI

10. SUPPLIED-AIR RESPIRATORS Supplied-Air Respirators (SAR) (also known as airline respirators) supply breathing air, never oxygen, to a face piece via a supply line from a source located some distance away and connected to the user by an air line hose.

11. AIR-PURIFYING RESPIRATORS Air-Purifying Respirators selectively remove specific airborne contaminants from ambient air by filtration, absorption or chemical reactions. I. COMPONENTS: F FULL FACEPIECE E FILTER SORBENT CARTRIDGE G EXHALATION VALVE © NEI

12. LEVEL B LEVEL C LEVEL D LEVEL A CHEMICAL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING IV. LEVELS OF PROTECTION: The individual components of clothing and equipment must be assembled into a full protective ensemble that both protects the worker from the site specific hazards and minimizes the hazards and drawbacks of the PPE ensemble itself. LEVEL RESPIRATOR C.P.C. PROTECTION Pressure-demand full-face piece SCBA Pressure-demand supplied-air respirator with escape SCBA. Fully-encapsulating, chemical-resistant suit. Will give vapor protection. The highest available level of respiratory, skin, and eye protection. A Pressure-demand full-face piece SCBA Pressure-demand supplied-air respirator with escape SCBA. Chemical-resistant clothing (overalls & long-sleeved jackets; disposable chemical resistant one piece suit). The same level of respiratory protection but less skin protection than level A. B Full-facepiece, air-purifying, canister-equipped respirator. Chemical-resistant clothing (overalls & long-sleeved jackets; disposable chemical resistant one piece suit). The same level of skin protection as level B, but a lower level of respiratory protection. C D No respiratory protection is provided. Coveralls, safety boots/ shoes, safety glasses or chemical splash goggles, hard hat. No respiratory protection. Minimal skin protection. © NEI
