WARNING
After Chemical, Biological, Radiological,
and Nuclear (CBRN) exposure of vehicle,
all air filters shall be handled with extreme
caution to avoid exposure to residual toxic
agents or radioactive materials.
If vehicle is exposed to chemical or
biological agents, servicing personnel shall
wear protective mask, hood, protective
overgarments, chemical protective gloves,
and boots.
All contaminated air filters shall be placed
into double-lined plastic bags and swiftly
moved to a segregation area away from the
work site.
The same procedure applies for radioactive
dust contamination; however, the CBRN
team should measure the radiation before
filter removal to determine the extent of the
safety procedures required per the CBRN
Annex to the Standard Operating
Procedures (SOP).
The segregation area in which the
contaminated air filters are temporarily
stored shall be marked with appropriate
CBRN placards.
Final disposal of contaminated air filters
shall be in accordance with local SOP.
Failure to comply may result in personnel
death, injury, and/or damage to equipment.
CAUTION
Do not drop or hit filter element on a hard
surface to clean. Seals may be damaged,
which will allow dirt to enter engine. Failure
to comply may result in damage to
equipment.
