Coveralls are a second layer of clothing worn over work clothes.

• A. A substitute for work clothes
• B. Second layer of clothing worn over work clothes
• C. Not considered PPE
• D. A disposable single-use layer

Answer: (B)

Coveralls provide an extra protective barrier by being worn over your regular work clothes. In pesticide safety, they act as an outer layer that helps keep chemicals from contacting skin and from contaminating clothing below. They are considered PPE because their purpose is to reduce exposure, not to replace your work clothes. They aren’t inherently disposable or single-use—some are designed to be reused after cleaning, while others are meant to be discarded after one use. That makes the option describing them as a disposable single-use layer incomplete, and it wouldn’t fit all situations. Substituting for work clothes isn’t accurate because coveralls sit on top of what you’re already wearing, adding protection rather than replacing it.
