Which statement best describes MOPP 3?

• A. JSLIST, boots, mask worn; gloves available
• B. JSLIST, boots, mask worn; gloves available
• C. JSLIST, boots worn; mask worn; gloves not worn
• D. JSLIST, boots, mask worn; gloves worn

Answer: (B)

MOPP levels tell you which items of protective gear you wear, not just carry. For MOPP 3, you have the JSLIST protective suit on, you’re wearing the overboots, and the gas mask is worn. Gloves are available, but you don’t necessarily have to wear them in this level. This setup keeps you protected while aiming to preserve enough dexterity for tasks that don’t require gloves, and you can add gloves if the situation demands it.

The statement that matches this describes the same gear—JSLIST, boots, and mask worn—with gloves available. Statements that say gloves are worn correspond to a higher protection level, while suggesting gloves aren’t available or aren’t mentioned fails to capture the standard MOPP 3 configuration.
