Liquid splash garments with air purifying respirator are identified as which class?

• A. Class 4
• B. Class 3
• C. Class 2
• D. Class 1

Answer: (B)

The main idea is that PPE protection levels are arranged to match the hazards you face, including skin contact from splashes and inhalation risk. A liquid splash garment provides protection against liquid splashes, while an air-purifying respirator takes care of inhalation hazards from any vapors or aerosols. Combining these two pieces places you in a higher protection level, because you’re covering both skin contact and breathing hazards. It’s not the lowest level, which would offer splash protection without respiratory protection, and it’s not the very top level, which would require a fully encapsulating suit with a supplied-air system. So this setup is classified as the higher protection level that pairs splash protection with a respirator.
