as a reliable indication that the suit will fulfil its function
in the same way when worn by somebody else. For
maximum protection Dräger recommends checking
the fit individually for each wearer.

After use

4.5.1 Precleaning of the chemical protective suit
WARNING
!
Never touch contaminated parts unless wearing
protective clothing. Avoid contaminating the clean
interior of the suit.
Failure to meet the required safety precautions may
result in death or serious injury.
1. Leave the contaminated area and have the chemical
protective suit precleaned by an assistant. The assistant
must also wear protective clothing and breathing apparatus
where necessary.
For precleaning, Dräger recommends using plenty of water
to which a detergent has been added. This will be sufficient
to wash away most chemicals (acids, alkalis, organic and
inorganic substances).
