What is included in PPE level 2?

PPE level 2 is designed to provide a high level of protection for personnel engaged in potentially hazardous activities. It includes essential components that safeguard against a range of dangers. Body armor is crucial in preventing injury from ballistic threats, while the front and back ESAPI (Enhanced Small Arms Protective Insert) plates offer additional protection against gunfire. Hearing and eye protection are also vital to prevent injuries from noise and flying debris, which are common in operational environments.

The combination of these items ensures that personnel are well-protected while maintaining their operational readiness. In contrast, the other options do not encompass the comprehensive level of protection provided by PPE level 2, focusing instead on either standard uniform elements or minimal protective gear, which does not align with the safety requirements for higher-risk activities.
