After use
4.4.1
Precleaning the chemical protective suit
WARNING
Risk of contamination!
► Only touch contaminated parts with protective clothing.
1. Leave the contaminated area and have the chemical protective suit
precleaned with the aid of a helper. The helper 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 sufficiently wash away most chemicals (acids, alkalis,
organic and inorganic substances). Avoid spreading chemicals.
2. In the event of contamination with hazardous substances, dispose of the
waste water in line with the relevant waste water disposal regulations.
