DECONTAMINATION AND CLEANING OF CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL
CONTAMINATION
Decontamination Solutions
The only decontamination solutions to use with this garment are water
and mild, household dishwashing liquid. Do not use any oxidative,
corrosive or reactive decontamination solutions with this garment.
Field Decontamination
The purpose of field decontamination is to allow the wearer to doff the
garment without being harmed by contaminants on the garment surface.
Garments that have been exposed to or that are suspected to have
been exposed to chemical or biological contamination should be field
decontaminated before doffing. Additional cleaning, decontamination,
a full visual inspection and a pressure test are required before a garment
may be reused.
1. Leave the hot zone with adequate air supply for decontamina-
tion and removal of the garment. The wearer should continue
to wear the respirator until the garment has been completely
doffed and removed from the area.
2. If the garment has been exposed or is suspected to have
been exposed, thoroughly scrub the garment using household
dishwashing liquid and soft scrub brushes, followed by
a thorough rinsing in water.
3. If possible, the excess rinse water should be removed from the
garment by individuals wearing gloves, liquid-splash protective
clothing and respiratory protection. At a minimum, the excess
rinse water on and near the closure assembly should be removed
with a dry cloth to ensure wearer is not exposed to chemical.
