DOFFING THE GARMENT
1. If the garment has been contaminated, or suspected of being contami-
nated, the wearer should continue to use his respirator until the garment
has been doffed and removed.
2. An assistant should help the wearer doff the garment after field decontam-
ination. If the garment has been contaminated, the assistant should wear
protective clothing and respiratory equipment.
3. While the wearer stands, the assistant should open the closure and peel
the garment down and away from the wearer's shoulders. The assistant
should help the wearer remove his arms from the sleeves.
4. Lower the garment below the hips and sit down. Have the assistant remove
the boots, pull the garment off the legs, and remove the garment to a
remote location.
5. Once the garment has been removed, the wearer can doff the respiratory
face piece and harness.
INTERFACE ISSUES
The user should ensure respirators, boots and gloves, as applicable, are properly
interfaced. There are no special procedures for donning outer boots.
caution
Ensuring proper seal and fit between the respirator and the
face piece and the elastomeric face seal is critical to the overall
performance of the ensemble.
