Provide Hearing Protection
If noise levels inside the garment exceed regulatory noise levels, hearing protection must be
provided. Use hearing protection recommended by a safety professional and which does not
interfere with the operation or use of the garment.
Communications
A vapor-protective garment hampers communication. The use of a personal communication
system should be considered. Users should also consider the use of hand signals to
communicate during training, work, and for emergency situations where respirators and totally
encapsulating garments are worn.
Inspection of Garment
CAUTION
The garment should be pressure tested and undergo a full visual
inspection at the following times:
•
Upon receipt to ensure no damage has occurred during
shipment.
•
Prior to first donning of garment
•
After a garment is worn and before the garment is made
available for r
euse.
•
Annually.
How ever, most performance properties of a vapor protective
ensemble cannot be tested b y the user in the field.
