Which PPE is included in the mandatory protection when handling energetic materials during maintenance?

Energetic materials during maintenance bring multiple hazards: eyes can be injured by debris or splashes, ears by loud noise, and skin or hands by heat, sparks, or chemical exposure. The only option that properly addresses all these risks is a full set of protection: eye protection to guard the eyes, hearing protection for the ears, flame‑resistant gloves for the hands, and protective clothing as specified by the SOP for body protection. The other choices leave out one or more essential protections, which is not acceptable when handling energetic materials.
