[edit] Photo is inappropriate
- The photo with this article is identified as a "flash suit." While it provides some protection from hazardous materials, as I understand it this is primarily a firefighting suit. It certainly does not match the description of a Hazmat suit implied in the introductory paragraph of the article. I am inclined to remove it. Comments? Pzavon 01:50, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
- Agreed, but don't remove the photo before finding a new one. --seifip 12:26, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
- This picture is correctly identified as a HazMat suit. This is a single-skin NFPA 1991 certified Level A suit(Vapor tight)as manufactured by Kappler(or DuPont).
- Also, the article does not imply that it provides protection from ALL the named dangers. MadMaxDog 11:02, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

- I am adding a photo to the article showing a typical Level B suit. Dragomiloff 03:07, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] A, B, C and D levels
The article refers to suits as Level A, B,C and D "suits". It is actually "Level A, B, C and D *protection*, as defined in NFPA 471 (Chapter 7). Manu 21:32, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
- right. i thought that had been fixed. Pzavon 04:26, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
