Foreword
The Standardized Equipment List (SEL) is provided to the responder community by the InterAgency Board for Equipment Standardization and Interoperability (IAB). The SEL has traditionally con-tained a list of generic equipment recommended by the IAB to local, state, and federal government organizations in preparing for and responding to all Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive (CBRNE) events. This edition continues the transition to a broader “all-hazards” SEL, while maintaining an emphasis on CBRNE events.
The SEL is a guideline, and its use is voluntary. The SEL promotes interoperability and standardiza-tion across the response community at the local, state, and federal levels by offering a standard refer-ence and a common set of terminology. The IAB does not assume any liability for the performance of equipment items mentioned in the SEL.
The most current SEL is printed and distributed each year in conjunction with the IAB Annual Report. This printed edition is always preceded by a complete review of the SEL by working groups within the IAB, and thus contains numerous changes and updates. However, the SEL master is maintained on line in order to keep pace with maturing and emerging technologies. It is available in interactive format on the IAB web site, www.iab.gov. The SEL is updated on line as required, and each online record includes the date and time of its most recent change. Local, Tribal, State, or Federal Government organizations may present suggested changes at any time for consideration.
Alignment with the DHS Authorized Equipment List
The numbering scheme and structure of the SEL are aligned with the Authorized Equipment List (AEL) produced by DHS. Originally a subset of the SEL, the AEL is the equipment purchase grant guidance for several major grant programs, including the entire DHS Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP). It is currently maintained by the FEMA Grant Programs Directorate of DHS. The SEL/AEL alignment is the result of a 3-year effort undertaken so that the responder community could easily obtain grant allowability information from DHS alongside the features and operating consideration information contained in the SEL.
The SEL and AEL each contain 21 sections, as follows: 1. Personal Protective Equipment
2. Explosive Device Mitigation and Remediation Equipment
3. CBRNE Operational and Search & Rescue Equipment
4. Information Technology
5. CyberSecurity Enhancement Equipment
6. Interoperable Communications Equipment
7. Detection
8. Decontamination
9. Medical
10. Power
11. CBRNE Reference Materials
12. CBRNE Incident Response Vehicles
13. Terrorism Incident Prevention Equipment
14. Physical Security Enhancement Equipment

17. CBRNE Prevention and Response Watercraft
18. CBRNE Aviation Equipment
19. CBRNE Logistical Support Equipment
20. Intervention Equipment
21. Other Authorized Equipment
Section 16 of the AEL is entitled “Agricultural Terrorism Prevention, Response, and Mitigation Equipment.” It is currently “Reserved” in the SEL numbering scheme while items are being considered for incorporation into the SEL. The IAB continues to work closely with FEMA’s Grant Programs Directorate to ensure the closest possible correlation between the two lists.
SEL/AEL Numbering Scheme
The SEL and the DHS AEL both utilize the numbering scheme originally introduced in the 2003 SEL. The format for SEL/AEL numbers is 99xx-88-yyyy, where99 is the section number, from 01 through 99 (currently 01 through 21 are used as shown above).
xx is the category. It is alphanumeric and unique within its section. For example, within Personal Protective Equipment, all items associated with the NFPA 1994 standard will have the category “CB”.
88 is the numeric subcategory. For example, within the Personal Protective Equipment Section, the NFPA 1994 Class 2 Ensemble has a subgroup code of “02”. This code may be set to “00” when not required.
yyyy is the item identifier. It is alphanumeric and unique within its section, class, and group. Using an alphanumeric code at this level increases flexibility, and decreases the chance of human error. For example, the Hard Hat in the personal protective equipment section uses the item identifier “HHAT.”
2009 Changes
The 2009 SEL includes 650 items, 136 of which have been changed or added in this edition. Changes include editorial changes (113), relocated items (5), and new items (18). There were no deletions in this edition.
Two new Categories have been created in the 2009 SEL. The first is Category 09MY, Mortuary Operations, which was created by the Medical SubGroup. This category recognizes the essential requirement for mass fatality capability in WMD or disaster incidents, and includes equipment kits addressing eight different aspects of mortuary operations. The second new category is 20CS, Crime Scene Processing, created by the Personal Protective and Operational Equipment SubGroup. This category supports the critical mission of law enforcement to investigate criminal aspects of major incidents as part of their response, and reflects the efforts of the IAB to broaden law enforcement content in the SEL.
Training Requirements
The inclusion of Training Requirements for each SEL item began in the 2008 Edition. These require-ments were developed by the Training SubGroup in cooperation with each of the four SubGroups

responsible for SEL content, and have been updated in this edition. Each item contains training requirement information in three parts:• CoreTrainingrequirements,whichdescribethefundamentalbaselinetraining(asopposed
to product specific training) required for operation, usually by reference to one or more key documents (such as a standard containing minimum qualifications) or certifications (such as a diver’s certificate).
• InitialTrainingrequirements,whichquantifytheamountoftrainingneededtoutilizethespecificpiece of equipment, presented as Minimal (< 1 day), Moderate (1-2 days), or Extensive (>2 days).
• SustainmentTrainingrequirements,whichquantifytheamountofannualrecurrenttrainingneeded to maintain proficiency in using the specific piece of equipment. Again, the requirement is presented as Minimal (< 1 day), Moderate (1-2 days), or Extensive (>2 days).
In some cases, additional information is supplied. For example, some bomb squad items show Sustainment Training as “Extensive (>2 days) with 5-yr re-accreditation rqt” to remind users of the 5-year re-accreditation requirement for FBI-accredited bomb squads.
Selection Factors
Since 2004, some sections of the SEL have included selection factors to provide an alternate method of referencing SEL items. Currently, they exist only for Sections 1 through 9, and the definitions vary among those sections. These factors allow users on the Responder Knowledge Base (RKB) web site (www.rkb.us) to select factor values and obtain search results based, for example, on a particular mission role and hazard environment such as Firefighter, Flash Fire environment.
The IAB is currently considering whether to continue to update and utilize these selection factors in their present form. For that reason, the factors have not been implemented on the new IAB web site (www.iab.gov). The 2008 factor values are still operational on the RKB web site. The only SubGroup to update their selection factors for the 2009 Edition is the Medical SubGroup, since their factors are the only ones actually published in the printed edition.
Selection factor definitions are presented as usual in this edition (in the introductions to Sections 1 through 9). However, readers should be aware that they are under review and that selection factors may be modified or eliminated during 2009.
Abbreviated Print Format and CD-ROM
Since adding features and operating considerations information in 2004, the printed version of the SEL has expanded steadily. With the introduction of the training requirements in 2008, the sheer volume of the SEL reached a point where continuing to print in the same format would possibly have required two volumes. As a result, the 2008 edition became the first to “streamline” the printed SEL to include only the SEL Number, Title, and Description of each item. This edition continues that format. A CD-ROM is enclosed inside the back cover of the printed edition that contains both PDF versions of the printed document and an interactive version of the SEL. The SEL on the CD-ROM is formatted like the on-line SEL, contains complete information on every item, and is viewable offline on any computer using a Web browser.
Online Versions of the SEL
In addition to this printed version and its accompanying CD-ROM, a searchable version of the 2009 SEL is accessible online at the IAB web site (www.iab.gov). As mentioned above, this version of the SEL is considered the master and will always contain the latest updates. The IAB site also allows users to download the printed version of the SEL and the IAB Annual Report in PDF format.

Another version of the SEL is available as part of the Responder Knowledge Base (RKB), at www.rkb.us. The RKB’s SEL display includes all of the equipment information, and implements interactive selection factors to assist users in determining the IAB’s recommendations. It also provides links to related standards, products, grants, and other equipment-related information, as well as an integrated display option that combines elements from the SEL and AEL.
Summary
The 2009 SEL represents the collective efforts of the InterAgency Board members and several related support organizations. This edition continues the migration toward an all-hazards approach, and incorporates two new operational areas. Like all previous versions, it is intended to provide the best possible information in support of all emergency responders. Suggestions and comments are welcome.

Section 1 - Personal Protective Equipment
Overview
The capabilities of and requirements for personal protective equipment continue to evolve rapidly. The transition to a broader, “all-hazards” SEL (while maintaining an emphasis on CBRNE events) continues in this edition.
Last year’s SEL contained a special document authored by the Personal Protective & Operational Equipment (PP&OE) SubGroup to assist readers in understanding the relationship between the traditional “Level A, B, C” PPE terminology and the standards-based descriptions used in recent years for both the SEL and DHS’s AEL. In June 2008, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), with the assistance of this SubGroup, released NIOSH Publication No. 2008-132, entitled: Guidance on Emergency Responder Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for Response to CBRN Terrorism Incidents (http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/2008-132/). The NIOSH document supersedes the document published in this introduction last year, and has been cross referenced to appropriate individual SEL items in this section.
Performance Standards
The importance of performance-based consensus standards in the certification, procurement, and use of personal protective equipment for emergency responders and first receivers cannot be overstated. The PP&OE SubGroup continues to devote significant effort to identifying useful standards, defining requirements for standards not yet available, and participating in the standards development process. The Standards List at the end of the SEL shows some 45 standards and special reference publications related to this section, 28 of which have been formally adopted by the IAB.
One of the most critical standards requirements cited by the IAB over the past five years has been the need for a performance-based personal protective equipment standard that specifically addresses the law enforcement mission. As of this writing, the National Institute for Justice (NIJ) under its Law Enforcement and Corrections Standards and Testing Program is completing the development of NIJ Standard 0116.00, CBRN Protective Ensemble Standard for Law Enforcement. Two companion documents are planned for this standard: NIJ CBRN Protective Ensemble Certification Program Requirements, and NIJ Selection and Application Guide to CBRN Protective Ensembles. The latter will provide procurement, selection, care, maintenance, training, and administrative guidance related to law enforcement CBRN protective ensembles. The IAB and the PP&OE SubGroup have been strong advocates for the development of this new CBRN ensemble standard, and several members of the IAB are participants on the NIJ Special Technical Committee (STC) that worked throughout 2008 in developing this product standard.
A second critical NIJ standard development effort also appears to be nearing completion. The National Institute for Justice (NIJ) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) are finalizing work on the development of an NIJ Standard for bomb suits. This standards development process is being managed by the NIST Office of Law Enforcement Standards (OLES). The requirement for a bomb suit standard was generated by the IAB PP&OE SubGroup, in close cooperation with the National Bomb Squad Commanders Advisory Board (NBSCAB). The U.S. military has developed the Operational Requirements Document (ORD) for Explosive Ordnance Disposal Advanced Bomb Suit (ABS). The U.S. military has also generated a draft Performance Specification, Bomb Suit, Advanced. The lead organization for this class of military protective equipment development is the Army Natick Soldier Center. It is currently anticipated that this long-awaited standard will be available in early 2009.

Section Changes for 2009
While routine edits and enhancements were made throughout the section, there were no major changes or item additions for 2009.
Item 01ZA-06-COOL, Garment/Vest/Device, Cooling, has been moved from Section 1 to Section 2, and is now item 02PE-02-COOL. The PP&OE SubGroup is carefully examining the efficacy of these devices, and they are not recommended for routine responder use. However, due to the weight and bulk of EOD ensembles, the item is being carried in Section 2 as a current recommended item.
The Ensemble Selection Process
In order to select the appropriate PPE ensemble, all sectors of the emergency response community must first complete a thorough threat assessment that at least identifies the most probable mission scenarios. Such scenarios should, at a minimum, address two major areas:• Whatarethe“hazards”likelytobeencountered,e.g.chemical(vapors,liquids,particulates),
biological, radiological, explosive, etc.?
• Whatisthelikely“mission”(jobfunction)ofeachresponderduringtheevent,andwhatarethetype, level, and likelihood of exposure to potential hazards?
Although the tendency is to try to prepare for every eventuality, that approach is generally neither financially feasible nor appropriate. Thus, the community should determine the most credible and likely threat “scenarios” as a basis for planning. This assessment can only occur through a coordinated communication and planning effort involving emergency response organizations, emergency planning officials, and the intelligence community.
This coordinated planning effort should produce an “inventory” of the most likely scenarios, as well as anticipated responder roles. The results can then be applied using the Hazard/Mission Matrix described below. Completing this organized process of assessing the threat, planning the response, and identifying equipment gaps as a prerequisite to equipment selection is strongly encouraged.
Selection Factors
Like many sections in the 2009 SEL, the Personal Protective Equipment Section uses a pair of selection factors to assist users in quickly identifying appropriate equipment items. For this section, the SubGroup chose to use Hazard Environment and Mission Role as the two factors. Users of the online version1 can choose any combination of Hazard Environment and Mission Role and the system will provide a list of all items tagged for that combination.
The best way to visualize the interaction of the two selection factors (Hazard and Mission Role) for PPE is to view them as a matrix, as shown on the following page. The hazard or threat, including the likely physical state in which it would manifest itself, forms the “Hazard Environment” (horizontal) axis of the matrix. The vertical axis represents the likelihood of exposure based upon generalized job functions - the “Mission Role” axis of the matrix. Matching a mission role to one or more hazard environments gives a recommended set of equipment items. The values used in each of these two axes are described in detail below. NOTE: Currently, this table only addresses CBRNE hazards. As the SEL continues its transition to an all-hazards scope, the table will be expanded to reflect both additional missions and hazards.
1 The IAB is currently considering whether to continue to update and utilize these selection factors in their present form. For that reason, the factors have not been implemented for the online SEL on the new IAB web site (www.iab.gov). The 2008 factor values are still operational on the RKB web site (www.rkb.us).

The Hazard Environment Axis
This axis is based first on general weapon/hazard type, followed by an assessment of the physical state. For example, chemical weapons can exist as particulates, liquids or airborne vapors, gases or aerosols. Based upon credible intelligence and threat assessment information, a community might choose to select PPE designed to protect the responder from an event utilizing common toxic industrial materials in concentrations that are detrimental to the respiratory tract. In that case, the selection of “Chemical Weapon, Vapor/Gas/Aerosol in High Respiratory/Low Dermal concentrations” might be selected. In planning for potential RDD (radiological dispersion device) events, the selection of “Radiological with Penetrating Gamma/X-Ray” would be appropriate. Whatever selection is made will direct the user to the most up-to-date information concerning what, if any, protective ensembles are currently recommended, as well as usage limitations. The table below shows the hazard environ-ment definitions adopted by the PP&OE SubGroup for use in the SEL.
Category Environment DefinitionChemical Vapor/Gas/Aerosol
(High Respiratory, High Dermal) [VH]
A chemical warfare agent or toxic industrial chemical found at the response scene that is present as a gas, a vapor that evaporates from a liquid, or a finely aerosolized low vapor-pressure liquid. High Respiratory refers to the airborne concentration present and suggests that the concentration is above respiratory IDLH levels. High Dermal indicates a significant dermal contact or absorption risk for acute/chronic skin toxicity or systemic health effects via skin contact (e.g. carcinogens).
Vapor/Gas/Aerosol (High Respiratory, Low Dermal) [VR]
A chemical warfare agent or toxic industrial chemical found at the response scene that is present as a gas, a vapor that evaporates from a liquid, or a finely aerosolized low vapor-pressure liquid. High Respiratory refers to the airborne concentration present and suggests that the concentration is above respiratory IDLH levels. Low Dermal indicates that vapors or gases are not in a high enough concentration to create a condition that is immediately dangerous to the wearer or conducive to systemic or chronic health effects via skin contact (e.g. carcinogens).
Vapor/Gas/Aerosol (Low Respiratory, Low Dermal [VL]
A chemical warfare agent or toxic industrial chemical found at the response scene that is present as a gas, a vapor that evaporates from a liquid, or a finely aerosolized low vapor-pressure liquid. Low Respiratory refers to situations where the airborne concentration is anticipated to be below IDLH levels. Low Dermal indicates that vapors or gases are not in a high enough concentration to create a condition that is im-mediately dangerous to the wearer or conducive to systemic or chronic health effects via skin contact (e.g. carcinogens).
Liquids (High) [LH] A chemical warfare agent or toxic industrial chemical found at the response scene that is present as a liquid where the potential exists for contact with that liquid. High indicates conditions where extended contact in the form of splashes is expected.

Category Environment DefinitionChemical - Continued
Liquids (Low) [LL] A chemical warfare agent or toxic industrial chemical found at the response scene that is present as a liquid where the potential exists for contact with that liquid. Low indicates conditions where incidental contact could be expected from contaminated surfaces.
Particulates (High) [PH]
A chemical warfare agent or toxic industrial chemical found at the response scene that is present as solid particles (particulate) or dust. High indicates that the concentration is above respiratory IDLH levels, or that the CBRNE agent is carcinogenic.
Particulates (Low) [PL]
A chemical warfare agent or toxic industrial chemical found at the response scene that is present as solid particles (particulate) or dust. Low indicates that the concentration is below respiratory IDLH levels, and that the CBRNE agent is noncarcinogenic.
Biological Airborne [BA] Microorganisms that can be spread as aerosols or particu-lates, and are considered airborne threats for respiration and in some cases also through dermal contact.
Liquid-borne [BL] Microorganisms that can be spread by contact with blood, body fluids, and other contaminated liquids.
Radiological Particulate/Liquid (Alpha and Beta) [AB]
Alpha or beta ionizing radiation that is spread by particles suspended in air or liquids. The primary hazard from these materials is through inhalation of particulates; skin contact should also be avoided.
Penetrating Gamma/X-Ray [yX]
The threat from gamma/x-ray ionizing radiation consists of both exposure to and contamination by gamma and x-ray emitting radioactive isotopes. Other than time, distance, and shielding, PPE is limited to minimizing direct contact with or inhalation of contaminated material.
Thermal Flash Fire [FF] A relatively short duration fire of 10 seconds or less that involves the ignition and combustion of a flammable atmosphere.
Sustained Fire [SF] A fire involving a structure or other source of materials that continues for a period of 1 minute or more until ex-tinguished or through the consumption of the combustible materials present.
Wildland Fire [WF] A fire in woodlands, forests, grasslands, brush, prairies, and other such vegetation, that is involved in a fire situation but is not within buildings or structures.
Explosive Pre-Detonation [PR] The potential for explosion still exists at the emergency scene.
Post-Detonation [PO]
The device has already exploded and the response scene involves the physical hazards associated with structural collapse and debris.
Ballistic Armed Assaults, Force Protection, Hostage Rescue [AS]
Handgun and rifle fire up to and including .30 caliber armor piercing rounds.

The Mission Role Axis
For a more detailed risk assessment of responders at CBRNE events, it is necessary to describe each re-sponder’s particular mission during the incident. By describing the mission, one can estimate numer-ous variables that place the individual at either an increased or decreased risk of actual exposure to the hazard. These variables include factors such as proximity to the potential release, potential exposure to IDLH environments, timing of arrival with regard to weapon dispersion, and probability of contact with potentially contaminated victims or surfaces. The mission roles listed in the matrix enable the community to consider a responder’s job function during the CBRNE incident in comparison to the hazard. This results in a better matching of protective postures towards actual risk.
The fact that a mission role is listed in a particular duty area is not intended to imply that the role is not applicable to other duty areas. For example, rescue teams may be located in law enforcement, fire department, or emergency medical duty areas depending upon the performance expectations of the community and their Comprehensive Emergency Response Plan. In the interest of keeping the matrix to a manageable size, mission roles are not repeated in every possible duty area.
Additionally, the reader must bear in mind that the mission roles presented in the matrix are based upon their assigned mission after the event occurs. Therefore, those assigned to First Responder roles such as “Patrol Officer,” “Firefighter” and “Medical First Receiver” will often be reclassified to another listed mission role once they become involved in the event (e.g. perimeter control, decontamination team, or contaminated patient care).
The table below shows the mission role definitions adopted by the PP&OE SubGroup for use in the SEL:
Duty Areas Mission Role DefinitionLaw Enforcement
First Responder/ Patrol Officer
Initial response into possible CBRNE incident in law enforce-ment capacity. Responder would have risk of exposure during the first response and initial phase of the event. Any requirement to work within the hazardous environment beyond the initial recognition phase would generally result in the individual being reclassified into one of the other mission areas identified in this matrix.
Force Protection Force protection at a CBRNE incident scene or at critical sup-porting infrastructure locations (e.g. medical, communications, logistical support, staging or command and control locations) and access control points for the purpose of ensuring the safety of operating personnel and assets.
Perimeter Control and Field Force
Scene control, credentialing, perimeter security, and crowd control.
Evidence Technician
Sample and evidence collection in cold, warm, and hot zones. These technicians may be involved in a variety of investigative processes including criminal investigation and environmental sampling.
Tactical (SWAT) Entry into any zone for immediate tactical action, hostage rescue, or assault.

Duty Areas Mission Role DefinitionFire Department
First Responder/ Firefighter
Initial response in fire service capacity. Responders would have risk of exposure during the initial stages of the event. Any requirement to work within the hazardous environment beyond the first response and initial recognition phase would generally result in the individual being reclassified into one of the other mission areas identified in this matrix.
Rescue Team Response to incident for purpose of rescuing live non- ambulatory casualties.
Decontamination Team
Decontamination of response personnel or victims.
Emergency Medical Services
First Responder/Medical First Receiver
Initial response in medical services capacity; responding to a report of an incident or being the first medical person to receive or recognize casualties from a CBRNE event. Responders would have risk of exposure during the initial phases of the event. Any requirement to function in another capacity beyond the first re-sponse and initial recognition phase of the event would generally result in the individual being reclassified into one of the other mission areas identified in this matrix.

The medical care provider or allied medical professional (e.g. medical examiner) at any location or level of response who is likely to provide care or service to patients or victims who are likely to pose a significant risk of secondary contamination or exposure. These medical personnel may also be involved in the decontamination process.
Non- Contaminated Patient Care
The medical care provider or allied medical professional (e.g. medical examiner) at any location or level of response who is likely to provide care or service to patients or victims who do not pose a significant risk of secondary contamination or exposure. The determination of lack of significant risk may be based upon a wide variety of factors including, but not limited to, the proximal location of the patient/victim at the time of CBRNE release, the physical/chemical properties of the CBRNE, the use of detection equipment or the extent of decontamination already taken.
Follow-On Responders
Administrative/ Logistical Support Personnel
Those individuals that would follow-on in the response to as-sist with the administration and logistical support of the event. These individuals would not normally be subjected to potential exposure provided appropriate force protection and perimeter security measures are in place.
Technical and Skilled Specialty Personnel - Isolation Area
Those trade personnel called upon to provide a focused specialty function. These functions would likely be carried out in the isolation area of the event and therefore, potential exposures to materials are likely.
Technical and Skilled Specialty Personnel - Non-Isolation
Area
Those trade personnel called upon to provide a focused specialty function. These individuals would not normally be subjected to potential exposure, provided appropriate force protection and perimeter security measures are in place.

Duty Areas Mission Role DefinitionSpecial Hazardous
Device Operations
Response to incidents involving a hazardous explosive and/or dispersal device within the isolation area for the purpose of identification, rendering safe, or removal of such device(s). For operations outside the isolation area, PPE requirements are determined by specific mission role.
HAZMAT Operations
Response to incidents involving CBRNE or hazardous materials within the isolation area for the purpose of detection, sampling, identification, control, and/or remediation. For operations outside the isolation area, PPE requirements are determined by specific mission role.
Incident Command Team
Response to incidents for purposes of assuming incident command in the field, including establishment and operation of a field incident command center.
Technical Rescue Operations involving specialized knowledge, skills and equip-ment to search for and rescue or recover victims of unique situations. This includes: high angle, confined space, structural collapse, trench, wilderness, vehicle and machinery.
Surface Water Operations (Contaminated and uncontaminated)
Personnel deployed onto or in close proximity to surface waters. This includes watercraft, ice, surf, swift, and non-moving water missions, in both the contaminated and non-contaminated environment.
Subsurface Water Operations (contaminated and uncontaminated)
Operations in or under the surface of the water/ice in which the use of supplemental air sources is required, in both the contaminated and non-contaminated environment.
Environmental/ Occupational Health Operations
Response to incidents involving CBRNE or hazardous materials in order to gather data/samples for the purpose of assessing human health risks to responders or the community. These activities generally occur at a secured scene after the completion of initial emergency response activities.
Epidemiology Conducting interviews and/or investigations for the purpose of gathering epidemiological information.
Mortuary Operations
DMORT (Disaster Mortuary Operational Response Team) or coroner/medical examiner, law enforcement, morticians. PPE requirements are determined by specific mission role, e.g. sampling, preservation, etc.
PPE Standards and Hazard Environments
In addition to the Hazard/Mission matrix, this edition of the SEL updates the table relating hazards to existing standards. The figure on the following page identifies recognized standards that apply to PPE used for protection from specific types of hazards encountered by responders during a CBRNE incident. Start with the left side of this chart to select the types of hazards that may be potentially encountered (the definitions are the same as those used in the Hazard axis of the Hazard/Mission matrix). Then look across the top of the chart to find the current nationally recognized standard(s) that address the selected hazards.

Key to Matrix Values:
A “Appropriate” - Provides appropriate protection from the indicated CBRN exposure.
E “Escape” - Provides protection from the indicated CBRNE exposure for escape purposes only. Not intended for operations in the indicated hazard environment.
L “Limited” - Does not provide specific protection from CBRNE exposure but may provide limited protection from collateral exposure such as TICs/TIMs once CBRN hazards have been mitigated.
O “Overprotection” - Provides protection in excess of that required to address the indicated hazard. Overprotection may result in undesirable tradeoffs such as increased heat stress or loss of functionality.
1 “High Respiratory” indicates that airborne concentrations are anticipated to be at or above IDLH or respirator maximum use concentration levels.
2 “Low Respiratory” indicates that airborne concentration is at or above published Short Term Exposure Limits (STEL) but less than IDLH or respirator maximum use concentration.
3 “High Dermal” indicates a significant dermal contact or absorption risk for acute/chronic skin toxicity, sensitization, corrosiveness, or systemic health effects via skin contact (e.g. carcinogens).
4 “Low Dermal” suggests that vapors or gases are not in a high enough concentration to create a condition that is immediately dangerous to the wearer or conducive to systemic or acute/chronic health effects via skin contact (e.g. carcinogens).
5 Canisters used for APRs and canisters/cartridges used for PAPRs may have significant life limitations in airborne particulate hazards of sufficient quantity to cause filter loading.
6 High/Low with regard to liquid chemical hazards. Although expressed in this matrix in general terms, selection of respiratory levels of protection would be dependent upon the volatility of the material and results of quantitative analysis of airborne concentrations.
7 The specific hazard/exposure indicated is radiological. Nuclear hazard environments will also include thermal and explosive components if detonation occurs.
8 CBRN Escape Respirators are grouped into two categories for this table: Air Purifying (AP), which includes respirators with and without the carbon monoxide (CO) option, and Self Contained (SC), which has its own air supply. Protections are limited to duration required for escape activity.
9 In the post-detonation setting, the primary hazard is assumed to be physical hazards. However, other chemical, biological or radiological hazards may be present and a hazard/risk assessment must be conducted in order to identify such hazards prior to final selection of a proper protective ensemble.
10 NIOSH CBRN PAPR includes units that are tight fitting (TF) and hooded (Hd).
Summary
Section 1 of the SEL is intended to provide the best possible guidance in selecting personal protective equipment based upon the anticipated hazard environment(s) and the mission role of the user. This guidance is based principally on CBRNE hazards; other hazards must be considered in a thorough hazard and risk assessment, which is required by OSHA for the selection of PPE. However, no guidance can replace the fundamental requirement to examine a community’s most likely exposure to various hazards and mission roles for its personnel prior to PPE selection.
