This is to protect their eyes and skin from potential splashes or exposure to the refrigerants, which can be hazardous. An all-purpose gas mask (A) would be overkill, rubber-soled shoes (B) would not provide the necessary protection, and a respirator (D) is not required for this type of work unless there is a risk of inhaling the refrigerants.
