It differs from Level A in that it incorporates a non-encapsulating, splash-protective, chemical-resistant splash suit that provides Level A protection against liquids but is not airtight. This is the minimum protection for workers in danger of exposure to unknown chemical hazards or levels above the IDLH or greater than AEGL-2.

This is the maximum protection for workers in danger of exposure to unknown chemical hazards or levels above the IDLH or greater than the AEGL-2. LEVEL A: (RED ZONE): Select when the greatest level of skin, respiratory, and eye protection is required.NOTE: Safe use of protective clothing and equipment requires specific skills developed through training and experience. Level A protection should be used until monitoring results confirm the contaminant and the concentration of the contaminant. GENERAL INFORMATION: First Responders should use a NIOSH-certified Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear (CBRN) Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) with a Level A protective suit when entering an area with an unknown contaminant or when entering an area where the concentration of the contaminant is unknown.Inhalation is an important route of exposure. ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: Benzene can be absorbed into the body by inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact.Agricultural: If benzene is released into the air as a mist, it has the potential to contaminate agricultural products.Outdoor Air: Benzene can be released into outdoor air as a liquid spray (aerosol), mist, or vapor.Food: Benzene can be used to contaminate food.Water: Benzene can be used to contaminate water.Indoor Air: Benzene can be released into indoor air as a liquid spray (aerosol), mist, or vapor.

The odor threshold generally provides adequate warning for acutely hazardous exposure concentrations but is inadequate for more chronic exposures. Most individuals can begin to smell benzene in air at 1.5 to 4.7 ppm. Benzene has a sweet, aromatic, gasoline-like odor. Benzene has been banned as an ingredient in products intended for use in the home, including toys. Benzene is found in gasoline and trace amounts are found in cigarette smoke. DESCRIPTION: Benzene is used to make chemicals used in the manufacture of industrial products such as dyes, detergents, explosives, pesticides, synthetic rubber, plastics, and pharmaceuticals.APPEARANCE: Clear, colorless to light yellow liquid at room temperature.
