  • Page 3: General Information

    General Information The Respirex GLS 300 A is a one-piece single use chemical protective gas tight suit that is CE marked to indicate compliance with the basic safety requirements under article 10 and 11B of the European PPE Directive 89/686/ EEC and the DEKRA Standard FRM 90.166.0.
  • Page 4: Storage

    If the end-user notices any discolouration of the visor the suit should be withdrawn from use. • The GLS 300 A suit DOES NOT provide protection against heat or flame, it should therefore not be worn in potentially flammable or unassessed explosive environments. It is not to be used in the handling of explosives.
  • Page 5: Dressing Procedure

    Dressing Procedure It is good practice for an assistant to help the wearer don and doff the suit. This makes the process easier and quicker, and will help the wearer to avoid stumbling or tripping which may result in personal injury or damage to the suit.
  • Page 6 Carefully fold down the outer legs of the suit over the exterior of the safety boots. Once folded down it is important to ensure that the seam where the outer leg joins the suit is flat and does not form a ‘channel’ where liquid could collect.
  • Page 7 10. Next, the SCBA cylinder should be switched on in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions and the face mask donned by the wearer. The dressing assistant can help the wearer to adjust the head straps of the face mask until comfortable. If necessary the wearer can now don a standard size adjustable 52 - 64 cm firefighter’s safety helmet conforming to EN 443.
  • Page 8: Decontamination For Removal Of Suit

    Fig. 17 Decontamination for removal of suit Because the GLS 300 A suit is designed primarily as a SINGLE USE garment, the end-user will be the sole judge for how long it can be worn on a specific task. Preliminary washing by means of a high pressure shower will remove most of the contaminant from the outer surfaces of the suit sufficient to allow the wearer to undress from the garment.
