SECTION 2A:User GuidePre-Use Information

Safety considerationsAll protective equipment needsto be well maintained in order tofunction properly. ONESuit® Gardand ONESuit® Flash are noexceptions. These suits must bedecontaminated, inspected, andpressure-tested prior to use.Remove from service if the suitsfail inspection or pressure tests.

Users must read this guidethoroughly, and should take the following precautions intoconsideration:

1. Avoid direct flame contact.The suits are not intended foruse in an open flame; however,

ONESuit® Flash providesprotection in the event of achemical flash fire.

2. Avoid continuous exposureto any known hazardoussubstance. Do not purposelyexpose the suits to a constantliquid/vapor hazard.

3. If the following symptomsare experienced, the userMUST leave the “hot zone”:fever, nausea, dizziness, eyeirritation, breathing difficulty,excessive fatigue, or anyunusual odor or taste.

NOTE:Most performance properties ofthese vapor protective ensemblesor individual elements cannot betested by the user in the field.

Limitations of use These products arerecommended for use asdescribed in the standard towhich they are certified. If it issuspected that these productshave come into contact with ahazardous substance, followappropriate departmentalprocedures for decontaminationor disposal.

Marking restrictionsIt is recommended that theseproducts not be marked in anyway by the user. The propertiesof the suit barrier materialthat make it highly resistant tochemicals also make it resistantto markings from paint, markersand pens.

If marking is desired, pleasespecify during the orderingprocess for permanent

attachment of letters ornumbers by the factory.

Shelf lifeThere is limited data for thematerials within ONESuit® Gardand ONESuit® Flash. Based onexperience with similar productsin the field, Saint-Gobain expectsa minimum shelf life of 15 yearsfor both ONESuit Gard andONESuit Flash based on specifiedstorage conditions, maintenance,and testing practices. There is noneed to dispose of the ensemblesbased strictly on time.

Ensembles must be inspectedand pressure-tested at least oncea year. If there is any questionabout the condition of the products,discontinue use immediately.

Visor anti-fog procedureThe use of anti-fog solutions onthe inside of the visor is notrecommended. Instead, be sureto have access to a clean, softcloth that may be used to wipethe inside of the visor in theevent of fogging.

Recommended undergarments Keep in mind that becauseONESuit® Gard and ONESuit®Flash are fully-encapsulatinggarments, there is very littleexchange of heat between thebody and outside the suits. Themost appropriate garments willdepend on temperatures outsidethe suit and mobility demands ofthe mission. Wearing certainsynthetic and/or natural fabricsagainst the skin will aid incomfort by moving moistureaway from the body.
