Guarding Against Contaminants: The Vital Full Body Suit

Essential Protection in Hazardous Situations

In scenarios involving hazardous and highly contagious substances, such as outbreaks like the recent Ebola crisis, full body suits play a critical role in safeguarding responders.

Comprehensive Coverage for Maximum Safety

The full body suit is an all-encompassing ensemble that includes:

  • Full-Body Overall
  • Head Protector or Headwear
  • Front Zipper for Easy Access

Proper Donning for Effective Protection

Wearing the full body suit involves the following steps:

  1. Open and Unfold the Suit
  2. Step Legs into the Suit
  3. Zip Up to Neck
  4. Secure Hood for Head Protection
  5. Add Face Mask and Glasses
  6. Put On Rubber Gloves
  7. Consider Overshoes for Total Barrier

Forming a Complete Shield

The full body suit acts as a robust barrier, preventing contact with contaminants or infectious agents. This comprehensive attire ensures:

  • Full Body Protection
  • Head and Hair Safeguarding
  • Facial and Eye Shielding
  • Hand and Foot Shielding

By following the correct procedure and using appropriate protective gear, responders can minimise the risk of exposure and ensure their own well-being.
