The most recently labeled level of protection is BioPPE. BioPPE requires the use of standard work clothes, along with contact and respiratory protection. Double gloving and an N95 mask or a better respirator is recommended. Level A protection provides maximum protection in that it offers a self-contained breathing apparatus, fully encapsulates the individual, and includes chemically resistant boots and gloves. BioPPE protection is not adequate when caring for patients exposed to toxic chemicals; however, it provides adequate protection against radiological and biological agents.
