Is the equipment labeled with a current IE value or PPE level and has the equipment been maintained? |

Nice, can I get a quote on this 40 cal Jeans and sweatshirt? Seems more comfortable than the usual suit  Also those test leads dont seem like they are Cat. IV |

Without knowing the available incident energy you cannot say anything is wrong. I know plenty of people, including myself, that prefer to put my whole "Cat 4" hood on rather than wear a balaclava. Also having to carry another face shield with a lower rating on an airplane when I travel is a pain. Jeans and sweatshirt are readily available up to "10 cal". |

It's a bit hard to read because it's so small but I think the label in the first picture says 34.6 cal/cm² |

Just not enough data to say the picture shows a dangerous activity. |
