HAZWOPER - Donning, Doffing, & Decontamination

HAZWOPER operations generally require the use of special types of PPE employees must use. Proper donning and doffing routines must be established and practiced frequently by employees to avoid exposure to harmful substances. Not only do correct procedures help instill confidence in the wearer of the suit; they reduce the risks of exposure and the possibility of damage to the suit. It is especially important to remove the equipment systematically, so as to prevent or minimized the transfer of contaminants from suit to wearer. This program trains employees on the proper methods for donning and doffing along with correct decontamination procedures and covers all levels of protection from A through C.
