1. Almost every site I've been in has unknown hazards.

Especially those cosmic rays.

I hate them. The make a mess of my molecules whenever one strikes one of my organs. They don't clean up after themselves, either. They are very rude.

I wish I had a cosmic ray suit for personal protection. For now, I'll just have to stick with my tin foil hat, shiny side in of course.

2. DU general discussion is normally a "site of unknown hazards"...

...I always bring my hip waders and a couple rolls of heavy duty tin foil.

3. General Rule: If hazards are unknown

Level A is the way to go. I used to work in the HAZMAT business, I did alot of stuff in Level B.
I never entered a site where there wasn't some information about what the hazard was. Level B usually was sufficient to deal with anything I ran across.

9. According to OSHA

It's level B.

10. Would you trust what OSHA says under the Chimp's administration?

I rest my case.

4. Is PPE the same as MOPP?

MOPP being an acronym for Mission Oriented Protective Posture. It's the Army's way of saying chemical, biological protective gear.

Just curious.

11. In my book, P.P.E. is a course at Oxford University.

Philosophy, Politics, and Economics.

Given that, it would result in a B.A. which can be morphed into an M.A. a few years later.

I take it that that's not the answer you're looking for.
