4. The user should determine or check with the safety office to verify that
the protective equipment to be used is sufficient for exposure to their
particular hazard and contamination level. Mis-use of the protective
equipment can result in serious personal injury or death.
During the Stay in the CBA Contaminated Area
1. It is recommended that the area be real-time monitored (with alarm)
for exposure levels of the contaminate. If the monitored contaminate
level is above the allowable exposure limit or maximum use concen-
tration (as determined by the governing protocol), the user should
leave the area immediately.
2. The user should not remove any of the CWA protective clothing while
in the contaminated area. This action could result in a serious injury or
death.
3. If symptoms of CBA over-exposure are present, seek medical treat-
ment and attention immediately.
After Exposure to a CBA Contaminated Area
1. A decontamination procedure for the user and the protective equip-
ment should be developed and implemented.
2. Once the user leaves the contaminated area, he should enter the
decontaminated area and follow the set decon procedure. Failure to
follow an acceptable decon procedure could lead to serious injury or
death.
3. Once the user and the protective equipment have been decontaminat-
ed, proper disposal of affected equipment is to be performed. Disposal
is to be performed as required by federal, state and/or local laws that
apply to CBA contaminated materials.
Failure to follow accepted safety and protection procedures when
exposed to hazardous atmospheres can result in serious personal injury
or death.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION:
The Gas Mask must be used with appropriate canister(s) to provide respirato-
ry protection. When properly used, the gas mask provides protection against
specific contaminates. The gas mask is NIOSH approved for CS,
Chlorobenzylidene Malononitrile, CN, Chloroacetophenone and all particulate
aerosols including oil-based aerosols as listed on the canister label. During
inhalation, air is drawn through the canister removing or neutralizing the cont-
aminants. The inhalation valves open and the exhalation valve remains closed
to prevent contaminated air from entering the facepiece. During exhalation, the
exhalation valves open and the inhalation valve(s) close to prevent exhaled air
from passing back through the canister. The exhalation valve permits exhaled
air to exit the gas mask.
