3.4.3 decontamination

operation to remove chemical contamination from the outside of the suit Note 1 to entry: The primary purpose of decontamination is to render the outside of the suit sufficiently clean that the wearer can remove the suit without coming into contact with those chemicals from which the suit has been protecting him or her. A secondary aim of decontamination may be to render the suit sufficiently chemically clean that it will not contaminate future wearers or personnel involved in the maintenance and/or storage of the suit before it is next used. Decontamination may involve wiping or rinsing the suit with copious amount of water, or treatment with a solution, liquid or solid in order to neutralize the contamination or otherwise render it harmless.
