Donning and Doffing Demonstration Activity 8<br />
Ask for a participant to don the fully-encapsulated vapor-protective chemical clothing and ensemble<br />
gear available at your training facility. Follow the manufacturer’s instructors, if you do<br />
not have instructions. Use the checklist in Appendix B as a guide.<br />
As you help the student don the ensemble, explain the proper procedures for putting on each<br />
item. Be sure to explain why certain procedures are necessary.<br />
After the student is fully suited (including air), help him or her remove the CPC. Again, follow<br />
the manufacturer’s instructions on the doffing procedures in Appendix B. Emphasize the importance<br />
of not allowing the outside surface of the suit to contact the wearer, the assistant, or the<br />
inside surface of the suit.<br />
Questions<br />
1. Did you notice any problems with the steps in the checklist? If so, describe them.<br />
2. Why are donning and doffing procedures performed in a specific sequence?<br />
3. If you are familiar with vapor-protective ensembles from other manufacturers, how is<br />
yours different?<br />
