Doffing procedure (use of Hazbag optional)
1. Lay the hazbag on the ground (*if supplied with suit), open end facing
upwards. The wearer should stand in the open end of the hazbag in
preparation for doffing (fig. 31).
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. 32).
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. 33).

4. The wearer should duck forwards so that the dressing assistant can lift the
hood of the suit up and over the wearer’s head. Note: It is likely that if a safety
helmet is being worn this will automatically come away from the wearer’s head
and remain in the head space of the suit. The helmet can be recovered from
the suit on completion of the doffing procedure.
5. If wearing the suit in combination with a re-hydration pack this should now be
disconnected from the drinking tube attached to the suit.
6. The dressing assistant should carefully lower the suit to boot level (fig. 34), and
the wearer can now step out of the suit avoiding contact its exterior (fig 35).
