  4. There are various levels of protective equipment, depending on the nature and level of exposure.

  5. Special clothing is needed when encountering hazardous substances.

  6. Foot protection includes disposable boots, shoes, and covers. The protection chosen may vary depending on the situation.

  7. Gloves protect a person’s hands against harmful substances. Glove materials vary depending on the type of substance that a worker is handling.

  8. Head protection safeguards the head from contaminants.
