Removing the Protective Suit

Attention!
If the protective suit is heavily soiled a preliminary cleaning should be carried out by
an assistant before removing to ensure that toxic agents are removed from the
protective suit. Whilst doing so the protective suit remains fully donned and closed.
The assistant must wear the appropriate personal protection equipment when doing
this e.g. protective gloves, respiratory protection, protective suit.
The preliminary cleaning is, if possible, performed using water with suitable detergent additives.
When removing the protective suit, avoid any contact with the soiled outside of the suit. To
avoid any impurities from reaching the inside the assistant must ensure that he does not come
into contact with them.
The removal of the protective suit is performed in reverse order from the donning procedure:
Attention!
Carefully open the zip by pulling gently.
As the zip slider moves downwards, hold on to the suit material at the same level.
Opening with excessive force can cause long-lasting damage.
(1) Pull your arms from the sleeves and hold on to the lens from the inside.
(2) Open the protective suit carefully.
(3) Pull the protective suit off.
(4) Drop off helmet.
(5) Remove the compressed air breathing apparatus.
(6) In order to protect the inside of the suit from contamination fully close the zip of the
removed protective suit.
(7) For transport of the protective suit, e.g. loosely fold the suit and pack into a polythene bag
or similar.

Disposal

The protective clothing itself does not require any special handling with regard to disposal.
However, the disposal of contaminated protective suits is carried out in accordance with local
legislation depending on the extent of the contamination through toxic waste.
