70% to passPersonnel servicing refrigeration systems and subject to the exposure to commonly used refrigerants should wear what type of personal protective equipment?
Aan all purpose gas mask
Bgoggles and gloves
Crubber soled shoes
Da respirator
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) goggles and gloves. Personnel servicing refrigeration systems and exposed to commonly used refrigerants should wear goggles and gloves as personal protective equipment (PPE). This is because refrigerants can be irritants to the eyes and skin, and goggles and gloves provide the necessary protection against direct contact or exposure. An all-purpose gas mask (A) is not required, as refrigerants do not typically pose an inhalation hazard. Rubber-soled shoes (C) would not provide protection against the refrigerants. A respirator (D) is also not necessary, as the main exposure risk is through the eyes and skin rather than inhalation.
