Encapsulated Chemical Suits
Chemical protection encapsulated suits are one-piece clothing with built-in faceshields and hoods that mask workers from dangerous dust, fumes, and liquids. Encapsulated suits, also known as Level A or Level B suits, have characteristics that allow for the use of supplied-air respirators (SAR) or self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) to deliver breathable air. They are used to clean up hazardous trash, apply agricultural pesticides, and make or handle chemicals.
