Decontamination procedures
Do not remove the PRPS, remove the filters or turn off the Jupiter™ AFU until
you have vacated the contaminated area.
Preliminary washing by means of a high pressure shower will remove most of the
contaminant from the outer surface of the suit sufficient to allow the wearer to
undress from the garment.
Should you not have access to a high pressure shower, the suit can be sprayed with
copious quantities of water and a suitable detergent and neutralizer for a minimum
period of 5 minutes.
Doffing procedure
1.
After preliminary decontamination procedures – lay the hazbag supplied with
the suit on the ground, open end facing upwards. The wearer should stand in
the open end of the hazbag in preparation for doffing (fig. 25).
2.
With the wearer’s arms in an outstretched position the dressing assistant
should break the velcro seal on the outer zip flaps and fully open the gas-tight
zip across the chest (fig. 26).
3.
Wearers’ should now withdraw their arms from the sleeves of the suit and
unfasten both the waist belt attached to the AFU and the chin strap of the
peak-less safety helmet (if worn). After unfastening the waist belt the wearer’s
arms should be crossed over the chest (fig. 27).
