Which section specifies the PPE required to handle HAZMAT/HAZWASTE?

• A. 113.3 State PPE required to handle HAZMAT/HAZWASTE
• B. 113.2 Explain procedure when HAZMAT spill is discovered
• C. 113.1 HAZMAT
• D. MSDS

Answer: (A)

PPE requirements for handling hazardous materials are defined in a dedicated section that lists exactly what protective gear must be used when dealing with HAZMAT/HAZWASTE. This section standardizes safety practices, ensuring everyone uses the same equipment—gloves, eye/face protection, protective clothing, footwear, and respiratory protection as needed—along with any decontamination steps. The other options describe actions when a spill is discovered, a general HAZMAT entry, or the MSDS—which provides hazard and protective information but does not mandate the specific PPE requirements for handling.
