5.1.2 Fitting the face piece

It is very important that the correct size of suit is selected and the fitting and positioning of 
the RPE (Respiratory Protective Equipment) face piece is done correctly on top of the suit/
hood face seal, as described below. Please consult the RPE IFU and any RPE Selection and 
Use programs in place in the local workplace, regarding fitting and checking of the RPE.

Incorrect fitting may result in poor fit, reduction in protection or leakage. 

Increased protection from liquid splashes may be achieved using the 

AlphaTec

®

 Mini Hood.

5.1.3 Donning the suit

See the Appendix for advice on Customised feature “Attached mask”.

Always have an assistant to help you while donning and try to find 

a clean area to stand on.

1) (Sit on a chair) Place both legs into the suit and into the sewn-in socks (if fitted).
2) Put on the boots:
  a) 

Model 151/Open legs

: Position the elastic strap underneath your foot. Pull up the 

outer part/splash guard of the leg. Put on the boot, and make sure the inner part of the 
leg goes inside the boot. Pull down the splash guard over the boot.

  b) 

Model 156/Sewn-in sock

: Don the boot taking care that the splash guard goes outside 

the boot shaft. Pull down the splash guard over the boot.

3) Put on the comfort gloves.
4) (Stand up) Put the arms into the sleeves, then pull the hood over your head and adjust 

the face seal.

5) Let the assistant close the zipper and then the zipper splash guard. Never force the 

zipper! If it jams, gently pull it back and try again. Make sure the zipper is fully closed!

Handle the zipper with care. A damaged zipper can cause serious injury.

6) Put on the breathing apparatus, except the mask.
7) Put on the face mask. Position it on top of the grey face seal. Start at the chin and make 

sure the face mask tightens against the face seal (not to the suit material). Pull the 
harness over the head and tighten the straps.

8) Have the assistant check the mask position and make sure there are no folds on the face 

seal, which can cause leakage.

9) If risk for splash of liquid chemicals, also put on the AlphaTec

®

 Mini Hood.

10) Put on the helmet. Ready.
