PPE Categories
Level A Fully encapsulated suit, with over-gloves and overbootsintegrated into the suit. Respiratory protection is a self-contained breathing apparatus. Level A protection is required for entry into an unknown hazardous environment.
Level BA hooded suit, double gloves, overboots, and a self-contained breathing apparatus, and may be used for decontamination procedures for an unknown substance and for entry into hot zones where the agent is not caustic.
Level CSimilar to Level B, but uses an air-purifying respirator instead of a self-contained breathing apparatus. Level C PPE can be used only after the hazardous substance has been identified, and upon verification of adequate oxygen in the environment.

PermaSURE®
Toxicity Modelling App
PermaSURE®
• PermaSURE® is a new software tool designed to help answer one simple question: - ‘How long can I work safely in this environment?’
• App calculates your safe working time based on the chemical you are working with, the extent of your exposure, the suit you are using and the suit temperature.
• Results calculated on working temperature of the suit, not the standardised temperature of the test lab
• PermaSURE® takes account of the toxicity of the substance your suit is exposed to when calculating a safe working time
