Which PPE type provides full body coverage including feet, hands and head?

• A. Work clothes
• B. Aprons
• C. Coveralls
• D. Gloves

Answer: (C)

Full-body protective coverage is achieved with a one-piece garment that covers the torso, arms, and legs, forming the base layer of skin protection in pesticide work. A coveralls-style garment provides that broad coverage, and when paired with gloves for the hands, boots or boot covers for the feet, and a hood or head covering, you get protection for essentially all exposed skin, including the head and feet. The other options only protect limited areas—work clothes are ordinary clothing, an apron covers only the front, and gloves protect hands—so they don’t offer as much coverage as a coveralls-type garment.
