Bunker Gear 24
Bunker Gear 24 : Hazmat Suit: Hazmat suits are designed to prevent the wearer from coming into contact with hazardous materials. The suits come in two variations; gastight (called Level A in the US) and splash protection (Levels B or C in the US). These suits are uncomfortable to wear and always require the use of SCBA or an airline breathing apparatus. The suit consists of the body, boots, 2 pairs of rubber or latex gloves, and another pair of latex gloves that is duct taped to the sleeves to provide maximum protection. The next piece is the hood. The hood allows the HAZMAT operator to enter the scene and still have a full range of view with the maximum protection possible. The SCBA (Self Contained Breathing Apparatus) is worn under the suit so it as well is protected from any chemicals that the operator may endure while on the scene. Wildland fire suppression: Protective clothing worn for forest fire and other wildland fire suppression use is made of a single layer of lightweight Nomex material and worn with leather logging boots and an industrial hard hat. A tent-like fire shelter is carried for emergency use in case of a blowup. In the U. S. the standard colour scheme for wildland fire PPE since the 1970s is yellow for shirts, green for trousers. Steel toed or rubber boots cannot be worn due to the heat conditions on the fireline. U. S. standards for wildland gear are covered in NFPA 1977
