Clothing


In evaluating the casualty for location, type, and size of the wound or injury, cut or tear his clothing and carefully expose the entire area of the wound. This procedure is necessary to avoid further contamination. Clothing stuck to the wound should be left in place to avoid further injury. DO NOT touch the wound; keep it as clean as possible.

WARNING (081-831-1016)

    DO NOT REMOVE protective clothing in a chemical environment. Apply dressings
    over the protective clothing.
