Hmm, working at a
steel mill.

Unclear if we will be getting additional heat and fire resistance on top of the suits.
- A light hazmat suit worn under bulky heavy pants with suspenders, tall boots, and a long treated jacket.
Hazmat suit by wiki, basically impermeable layering against chemical and biological elements, with secondary resistance versus radiation and temperature. Typically very weak versus physical damage, unclear whether the additions can be considered armor.
- A synthetic rubber drysuit fitted to your body, for maximum agility and freedom of movement.
Drysuit by wiki, mostly for low temperatures, fully waterproof. Unless there is an environmental control attached/built-in, it will be awful in hot conditions. Non-water use is suggested to be made out of breathable materials, but unclear on interaction to irradiated air.
- A heavier, sturdier drysuit with a canvas outer layer, and reinforced with steel plates and struts.
Like above, but with more armor.
- A hostile environment suit made to resist energy discharges and blunt impacts, with secondary environmental protections.
This might have different meanings to different persons. Examples might include Gordon Freeman's suit from Half-Life, a couple of iteration for Isaac Clarke's armor from Dead Space, current astronaut suits, heavy deep-sea walker diving suits. All are typically heavily armored, have very high environmental ratings, but unless power armors are a thing, then it will be bulky and restricting.
All suits will probably have their own air supply.
HEV suits will allow Zelda to go down and work near the very blast furnace itself, if needed. But it is not clear what kind of work Zelda is going to do, so if it is mostly bureaucratic or administrative work, then she wouldn't need that level of protection.
