Which item is listed as head and neck protection in the required PPE for ground crew?

• A. Head and neck protection
• B. Eye and ear protection
• C. Hand protection
• D. Clothing (sleeves down and top buttoned/zipped)

Answer: (A)

PPE is organized by the body region it protects, so the item that corresponds to head and neck protection is the one specifically designed to shield the head and neck from hazards such as debris or impact. In ground crew settings, head and neck protection covers the skull, face, and neck areas, distinct from gear that protects the eyes/ears, hands, or the body in general. The eye and ear category protects vision and hearing, hand protection guards the hands, and clothing protects other parts of the body; none of these address the head and neck region. So, the correct choice is the item that is labeled to protect the head and neck, because it matches the designated body area for that PPE category.
