Process operators work in many industries, and in plants that produce electricity, commodity gases (natural gas, propane, butane), gasoline, diesel fuel, industrial chemicals, plastics, ultra pure water, pharmaceuticals, and other such products. To help protect the workers in these industries, The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 was passed, together with the creation of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), whose Standard 1910.120 Appendix B details the four basic levels of protective gear (PPE Levels A-D) required for the Process Operator, with Level A being the highest level of protection and level D being the lowest). This model represents a Process Operator dressed in one style of the lowest Level "D-5/6" attire. It incorporates either a two-piece work uniform or work coverall, steel-toed safety boots, gloves(various types swappable via the Layer's menu),and the basic Dupont ™Tyvek® coverall which is worn over the basic work uniform or coverall. Breathing air is supplied by a Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA), a facemask with harness attached air cylinder, and an over the head hood. Due to the unsealed nature of the basic Tyvek® suit, as with all Level D attire, this combination is good for nuisance contamination (dust/dirt) protection only.
