Which PPE combination is described for lab safety?

• A. Goggles and Face Shield; Plastic Vinyl Booties; Disposable Coveralls and Apron; Disposable Vinyl Gloves and Heavy Neoprene Gloves
• B. Sunglasses and sandals
• C. No PPE required
• D. Wristwatch and jewelry only

Answer: (A)

In lab safety, protecting eyes and face, skin and clothing, and hands covers the most common routes of exposure. The described set does just that: protective eyewear plus a face shield defend against chemical splashes and debris for the eyes and face; booties keep footwear clean and reduce contamination from the floor; disposable coveralls and an apron provide a barrier for skin and clothing against spills and splashes; and wearing gloves offers hand protection, with disposable vinyl gloves for everyday barrier protection and heavier neoprene gloves for greater chemical resistance or tougher tasks. This combination targets the main risk areas and supports safer handling of materials. Sunglasses and sandals offer minimal protection and leave eyes and feet vulnerable. No PPE at all leaves you exposed to spills and splashes. Wearing only a wristwatch and jewelry can trap contaminants and create additional hazards, without providing any actual protection.
