The
Hazard/Risk Category is used to help determine the required level of PPE. The categories
are defined by NFPA 70E and range from category number 0 to 4.
NFPA
70E Table 130.7(C)(10) is a Matrix of Hazard/Risk Categories and describes the
type of PPE suitable for each category. For more information, refer to NFPA 70E
Table 130.7(C)(10) or specific PPE manufacturer's information.
Note:
PPE selected must have ratings equal to or greater than the Hazard/Risk
Category or the calculated incident energy.
