For maximum durability and when working with sharp objects, wear leather gloves over the chemical protective gloves. e. In the event the
38、 chemical protective gloves become contaminated, do not under any circumstances wear leather gloves over them. f. In cold weather, wear environmental hand gear over these gloves. g. Periodically inspect the chemical protective gloves for holes or punctures. In the event they do develop holes, are pu
39、nctured, or become torn, discard immediately and use a serviceable pair. h. With proper care, the gloves are capable of providing protection for at least 14 days of continuous wear. i. Wear cotton gloves under your chemical protective gloves to assist in the absorption of moisture to retain comfort.
40、 DECONTAMINATION OF GLOVES a. Gloves exposed to toxicological agents must be decontaminated before reuse. The gloves can be decontaminated by using the procedures specified in FM 3-5, NBC Decontamination. b. Should your gloves become contaminated with gasoline, oil, grease or cleaning fluids, wipe-o
41、ff and air dry within 2 minutes. If gloves cannot be wiped off and air-dried within 2 minutes they should be replaced at the earliest possible time.
