What type of PPE is generally required for hazardous materials spill cleanup?

Only gloves and eye protection are required.

PPE appropriate to the hazard, including gloves, eye/face protection, protective clothing, and respiratory protection if needed.

PPE for hazardous materials spill cleanup is chosen based on the specific hazard and how exposure could occur. You select protective gear to match the substance’s properties and the route of exposure, not a one-size-fits-all set. In practice this means gloves to prevent skin contact, eye and face protection to guard against splashes, and protective clothing to keep skin and clothing clean. If vapors, fumes, or dust could be inhaled, respiratory protection is added as required by the hazard. The goal is to provide comprehensive protection against the particular spill, which means sometimes all items are needed, and other times a subset suffices—but never none.

No PPE is required for spills.

Respiratory protection only; no other PPE is needed.
