Level D clothing is a type of personal protective equipment (PPE) that provides the lowest level of protection and is used when contamination is merely a nuisance, rather than a health risk. PPE is divided into four categories (levels A through D) based on the degree of protection they provide. Level D provides the lowest level of protection.
Level D clothing offers the minimum level of protection against contamination, and is generally only used for nuisance contamination.
Level D clothing includes:
Coveralls
Gloves
Chemical resistant boots, shoes with steel toe and shank
Safety glasses or goggles
Hard hat
Escape mask and face shield
