Removal of Protective Clothing
Potentially contaminated protective clothing should be removed without spreading contamination and in particular
without contaminating the skin. Workers should be instructed not to touch the skin or place anything in the mouth during
protective clothing removal.
Recommended Sequence for Removing a Full Set of Protective Clothing at the Step-Off Pad
Before stepping out of the contamination area or airborne radioactivity area to the step-off pad, the worker should:
1.
Remove exposed tape
2.
Remove rubber overshoes
3.
Remove gloves
4.
Remove hood from front to rear
5.
Remove respiratory protection, as applicable
6.
Remove coveralls, inside out, touching inside only
7.

Monitor badge and dosimeter.
The sequence for the removal of primary and supplemental dosimetry is dependent upon where the dosimetry was worn
and the potential for contamination. The sequence for removal of respiratory protection devices may be altered if it is
determined that the potential for inhalation of airborne contamination or the spread of surface contamination is reduced
by keeping respiratory protection devices on until all protective garments have been removed.
