Introduction
This guide addresses Honeywell
garments for both utility and rescue and
recovery technical rescue incidents
(NFPA 1951), wildland fire fighting
(NFPA 1977), liquid splash protection
during hazardous materials emergen-
cies (NFPA 1992), and emergency
medical operations (NFPA 1999). It is
important to check the label to deter-
mine the type of emergency operations
and standards to which your garment
has been certified. Where there are
differences related to selection, care,
and maintenance of the different types
of garments, this information is high-
lighted.
Your protective garment is intended to
provide limited protection to your torso,
arms, and legs as part of a properly
selected and configured protective
ensemble during technical rescue
operations, wildland fire fighting, liquid
splashes during hazardous materials
emergencies, or emergency medical
operations, as indicated on the garment
product label. While your protective
garment is designed to provide protec-
tion against a number of fireground
and/or other emergency operations
hazards, your protective garment will
not protect you against all exposures
and under all conditions, even when
worn properly.
This user information guide provides
information and instructions related to
the selection, use, care, and mainte-
nance of your protective garment. How-
ever, this guide does not tell you when
and under what circumstances you
should wear your protective garment.
Rather, this guide tells you how to wear
your protective garment and provides
an understanding of the limitations of
your garment and how this garment
may or may not protect you. Determin-
ing the suitability of your protective gar-
ment for specific emergency operations
rests with your department or employer,
who has the legal responsibility to
conduct a hazard assessment and
decide if your protective garment
provides appropriate protection against
identified hazards.
W ile t is guide provides you basic
information to adequately care for
and maintain your protective garment,

dures – suc as advanced inspection,
advanced cleaning, decontamination,
special incident procedures, and

Pre-use Information
General Construction and Features –
Your protective garment has been man-
ufactured to comply with one or more of
the following standards:
NFPA 1951 Standard on Protective
Ensembles for Technical Rescue
Incidents
NFPA 1977 Standard on Protective
Clothing and Equi ment for Wildland
Fire Fighting
NFPA 1992 Standard on Liquid S lash-
Protective Ensembles and Clothing
for Hazardous Materials Emergencies
NFPA 1999 Standard on Protective
Clothing for Emergency Medical
O erations
Garments are provided either as sets of
coats and pants or as full-body covealls.
These garments may be constructed
of one or more layers, and one of the
layers may be intended to provide a
barrier against liquids. Each type of
garment may include different features
and options such as different types of
closure systems, reinforcements
(elbows, knees, cuff edges), attached
or detachable hoods, pockets, high
visibility materials, side take-up straps,
drag rescue devices, and different
types of suspenders. Specific informa-
tion about the materials and features of
available garments is provided on the
Honeywell website at www.Honeywell-
FirstResponder.com.
Safety Considerations and
Limitations of se – It is critically
important that you do not use this
protective garment until you have read
and understood this entire guide and
the labels provided on your protective
garment. In order to reduce – but not
eliminate – your risks, do not wear this
protective garment unless:
•You Understand All Labels, T is
Guide, and Applicable Standards:
You have read, fully understood, and
strictly followed this guide and all
labels for this garment, the applicable
NFPA standard, and applicable
national, state/provincial, and local
regulations pertinent to emergency
operations.
•Your Use Is in Accordance wit
Applicable Standards and Regula-
tions: Your use of this protective
garment is consistent with NFPA1500
Standard on Fire De artment
Occu ational Safety and Health
Program; with Title 29, Code of
Federal Regulations Part 1910.132
and General Requirements of Subpart
I, “Personal Protective Equipment”;
with Part 1910.1030, “Blood-Borne
Pathogens”; and with any specific
regulations that pertain to your local
area.
•Need for Hazard/Risk Assessment:
Your department, organization, or
employer has conducted a hazard/
risk assessment and determined that
this garment provides an acceptable
level of protection for the particular
emergency operations consistent with
applicable national, state/provincial,
and local regulations.
•Your Garment Fits Properly: Your
garment must be appropriately sized
to provide an adequate range of
motion and must permit you to
complete required tasks without
overexertion.
•Limitations of Protection: You have
been trained and understand that not
all garments provide protection from
all hazards, and you have been
trained and understand how to select
and properly use the appropriate
garment to meet the expected
exposure.
•Heat Stress: Wearing your protective
garment together with other ensemble
elements may increase your risk of
heat stress, which may cause heart

attack, stroke, dehydration, or other
health-related conditions. At the first
sign of heat stress, immediately seek
medical help.
•Burn Injury: If designed for thermal
protection, your protective garment
will not protect you from all burns and
injuries. If your protective garment is
exposed to radiant, convective, or
conductive heat, or comes in contact
with a hot environment or hot object,
you may be burned underneath the
protective garment with no warning
and no sign of damage to the protec-
tive garment. If your protective
garment is not flame resistant, do not
wear your garment in any environment
where you expect to be exposed to
flame, high heat, or any other thermal
hazard.
•Heat Sensation: Your protective
garment will lower your ability to feel
heat. Do not be misled by the
absence of heat or discomfort
underneath your protective garment.
Even though you do not feel heat or
discomfort, you can be burned or
injured suddenly and without warning.
If you feel heat or some slight discom-
fort or unusual sensation under your
protective garment, you may already
have been burned or are about to be
burned. Be constantly alert to the
possibility of exposure to heat and
other hazards.
•Barrier Protection: If your protective
garment has a barrier, it will provide
only limited liquid integrity and only
when worn correctly and in combina-
tion with other suitably chosen
ensemble elements. Water and other
liquids may still enter through the top,
bottom, or closures of your protective
garment and may expose you to
liquid contaminants. The moisture barrier
has not been evaluated for all chemi-
cals that can be encountered during
fire-fighting operations and informa-
tion that the effects of chemical expo-
sure on the moisture barrier are to be
evaluated per the inspection proce-
dures in NFPA 1855. Your protective
garment may not protect you from all
chemical, radiological, or biological
hazards which can cause death,
injuries, diseases, and/or illnesses.
Furthermore, this garment does not
offer any protection from hazardous
vapors or gases, liquefied gases, or
cryogenic liquids. Ensure that you
have proper interfaces between your
protective garment and the other
elements in your ensemble such as
helmets, hoods, respirator facepieces,
gloves (with protective coats), and
footwear (with protective pants). There
must also be sufficient overlap
between your protective coat and
pants (see Adjustment for Fit and
Interface Issues under Wearing
Instructions).
•Ot er Hazards: Your protective
garment – wet or dry – may not
protect you from electrical shock.
Your protective garment will not
protect you from all physical hazards.
Your protective garment may be
penetrated, cut, or torn by sharp
surfaces or objects. Your garment
may also wear through when in
repeated or prolonged contact with
rough surfaces. Your garment will not
offer any protection against ballistic
hazards or objects propelled at high
velocities. Your garment will hinder
your movement and may not allow
you full motion to perform all required
fireground functions. The bulk of your
garment together with other ensemble
elements may not permit you to
negotiate confined spaces or narrow
passages without difficulty. If you fall
into open water, your garment may
prevent you from being able to swim.
If you are operating in areas of
vehicular traffic or moving machinery,
your garment may not offer sufficient
visibility to be seen, and you may be
struck by moving vehicles or equip-
ment. You must be constantly vigilant
of the hazards to which you may be
exposed and your garment limitations
in protecting against these hazards.
Do not use your protective garment if
it is contaminated, cut, torn, punc-
tured, worn, abraded, or altered from
its original condition.
•Need for Complete Ensemble:
This garment is effective only when
properly worn, accounting for a proper
interface with the other elements of
your protective ensemble. A complete
ensemble for most emergency opera-
tions includes, as a minimum, protec-
tive garments, a protective helmet,
protective gloves, protective footwear,
respirator, and other personal protec-
tive equipment that has been certified
to the appropriate standard. Ensem-
bles may also include hoods, eye and
face protection, and other items
needed to provide complete
protection.
•Recommended Undergarments:
If you are involved in any operations
where the potential exists for flame
or high heat exposure, wear only
garments that are constructed of
100% natural fibers underneath your
protective garment.
•Proper Care and Maintenance: This
garment must be properly inspected,
maintained, and cared for by you and
your department, organization, or
employer consistent with these
instructions and the applicable
national, state/provincial, and local
regulations. Your garment must be
free of soiling, contamination,
damage, and any alteration that
would compromise the protection it
provides in its original condition.
Damage and contamination of this
garment may warrant its disposal.
•S elf Life: Your garment has a shelf
life of 10 years if unused and properly
maintained over that period.
•Warranty: This garment is NOT
warranted to be fit for a particular
purpose. Read carefully the warranty
at the end of this guide. If labels in the
garment are missing or become
unreadable, contact Honeywell for
instructions on obtaining a copy of the
label information.
Marking Recommendations – Do not
attempt to alter or modify your garment.
For identification purposes, you may
mark your protective garment on the
interior using an indelible marker, if
permitted by your department or
organization. Do not write over or
obscure information on the product
label.
Testing and Assessment of Perform-
ance – Your protective garment and the
materials and components used in its
construction have been evaluated for a
number of performance properties that
are based on the requirements of the
specific NFPA standard(s) for its certifi-
cation. These properties may include,
but are not limited to, flame and heat
protective performance, barrier proper-
ties, various physical properties, clean-
ser Information Guide – Protective Garments for NFPA 1951, NFPA 1977, NFPA 1992 and NFPA 1999

ing shrinkage, and other performance
properties. Not all garments are evalu-
ated for each type of performance.
None of these performance properties
can be evaluated in the field, so if you
have questions, check with your depart-
ment or organization, which in turn can
contact Honeywell.
Preparation for se
Sizing and Adjustment – All Honeywell
protective garments are offered in a full
range of sizes depending on the type of
garment and the specific standards to
which it has been certified. In general,
protective coats are provided in chest
sizes with at least 2-inch increments
and sleeve lengths with 1-inch incre-
ments. Protective pants are offered in
waist sizes with at least 2-inch incre-
ments and inseam length with at least
2-inch increments. The best practice is
to have your garments custom-fitted for
your specific dimensions. For many
purchases, Honeywell provides serv-
ices for fitting each individual firefighter
for protective coats and pants. How-
ever, some garments are provided in
standard sizes in the size increments
described above.
It is important that you select the appro-
priate size of garment. Garments that
are too tight will hinder your movement
and reduce the layer of air between
your body and the garment that
contributes to your overall thermal
insulation. Garments that are too loose
will also negatively affect your ability to
move. Choose a garment size that
gives you the best functionality. Follow
the donning instructions under “Wear-
ing Instructions” provided in a following
section to ensure you are correctly
wearing your protective garment. In
addition, follow the procedures under
“Adjustment for Fit and Interface
Issues” to ensure a correct overlap
of your coat and pants and that all
additional ensemble elements properly
interface with your garments. If you lose
or gain weight, you may need to have
the size of your garment adjusted to
provide proper fit.
Recommended Storage Practices –
Store your garment only when it is
clean, dry, and free of contamination.
Storing wet garments will promote
growth of mildew, fungus, bacteria, or
other harmful substances with the
potential to cause skin irritation, rashes,
diseases and/or illnesses. Wet condi-
tions can also lead to deterioration of
some garment materials. Keep garment
away from potential contaminants such
as oils, greases, or other chemical sub-
stances. Store your garment in a clean,
dry, ventilated area away from direct
sunlight and away from tools or other
sharp objects. Storage of your gar-
ments in an apparatus bay may subject
those garments to contamination with
diesel exhaust if an adequate diesel
exhaust system is not used at the
station. Do not store your garment
with your personal belongings or in a
personal living area.
Inspection Details and
Frequency
Routine Inspections – Inspect your
protective garment prior to its first use
and following every use. Prior to using
the garment for the first time, ensure
that the garment does not have any
construction flaws and was not dam-
aged when being put into service. After
every use, inspect your protective
garment for the following:
• soiling
• contamination
• physical damage such as rips, tears,
punctures, and cuts
• damaged or missing hardware and
closure systems
• thermal damage such as charring,
burn holes, melting, and discoloration
of any layer
• damaged or missing reflective trim (if
present)
• loss of seam integrity and broken or
missing stitches
• incorrect assembly or size compati-
bility of the shell with any detachable
lining, if provided
If these conditions exist, alert the
supervisor of your department or organ-
ization and request a determination on
the continued serviceability of your
protective garment.
Advanced Inspections – Your protec-
tive garment should be subjected to a
more thorough inspection at least every
12 months, or whenever routine inspec-
tion reveals a condition that might
adversely affect continued service. This
inspection must be carried out by
Honeywell, by an individual within your
department or organization who has
been trained in advanced inspections,
or by a qualified and accepted inde-
pendent service provider (ISP).
Wearing Instructions
Donning – The specific donning
instructions will depend on how your
coat and pants are configured and will
be affected by the specific features
provided on your garment. Some
specific considerations in donning
include these:
• You should put on your pants before
you put on your coat.
• If your garment has a lining, ensure
that the lining is properly installed
before attempting to don your
garment.
• If your pants are provided with
suspenders, attach the suspenders
before donning your pants.
• The order for donning your coat or the
upper part of your coverall will
depend on the other types of personal
protective equipment that you are
wearing as part of your ensemble.
For donning your pants:
1. Step into your pants as you would for
normal trousers and pull your pants
up to your waist.
2. If suspenders are provided with your
pants, pull the suspenders over your
shoulder.
3. Close the fly of your pants using the
provided hardware (either zipper or
hook and dee) and/or hook and loop
tape. Hook tape on one side of the fly
should be matched directly to the
loop tape on the other side of the fly.
4. Adjust your suspenders so that the
pants feel secure on your waist;
however, do not shorten your
suspenders enough to pull the crotch
of your pants up too high.
5. If you have a belt, fasten and close
your belt.
ser Information Guide – Protective Garments for NFPA 1951, NFPA 1977, NFPA 1992 and NFPA 1999

6. If your pants are provided with side
take-up straps, adjust the slide so
that the pants waist provides the
most comfortable and functional fit.
7. Check that your protective pants legs
overlap your protective footwear.
To properly put on your protective coat:
1. Put your coat on as you would a
normal jacket.
2. Pull the coat front closure together.
3. Secure the front closure flap over the
inner closure by matching up the
hook and loop closure tape or secur-
ing the available hardware, depend-
ing on your coat’s configuration.
4. Secure your collar by pulling your
chinstrap across the collar opening
and securing the hook portion of the
closure tape onto the loop portion of
the closure tape.
5. Check that your coat overlaps your
pants, and ensure that all ensemble
elements have proper interfaces with
your protective coat.
6. Check that your protective coat
sleeves overlap your protective
gloves.
To properly put on your protective
coveralls:
1. Separately step into each leg of the
coverall pants section.
2. Individually put each arm into a
coverall sleeve.
3. Pull the back of the coverall up over
your shoulders so that the sleeves
and coverall height are properly
adjusted.
4. Secure the front closure and closure
flap.
5. If coveralls have side take-up straps
or other cuff closures, adjust and
secure those straps.
6. Secure the collar closure.
7. Check that overlap occurs between
your protective coveralls, protective
footwear, protective gloves, and any
other personal protective equipment
you are wearing.
Adjustment for Fit and Interface Is-
sues – When wearing a coat and pants,
check the overlap between your coat
and pants per the requirements in NFPA
1500, Standard on Fire De artment
Occu ational Safety and Health
Program, using the following procedures:
1. Don your pants and coat as
described in the procedures above.
(It is not necessary to don your
protective hood, protective gloves, or
respirator for this determination.)
2. Stand, then
reach over-
head as high
as possible
and put your
hands
together.
3. While still
standing and
keeping your
hands
together,
reach over-
head and
then bend
forward at the
waist. Keeping your arms
extended and hands joined, move to
each side and to the back as much
as possible.
4. Have an observer confirm that you
have at least a 2-inch overlap of all
layers of your protective garments so
that there is no gap in the protective
layers when your coat and pants are
worn in each of the positions.
Your protective garment must also fit
properly and be worn in such a way
that all interface areas between your
garment and other ensemble elements
always protect the portions of your body
that are covered in the interface areas.
The interface areas must remain pro-
tected during all of your anticipated
movements, including when you look
upward or sideways, reach forward,
raise your arms, bend over, turn your
body sideways, kneel, duck walk, or
crawl. If your interface areas do not
remain protected during your move-
ments, alert your supervisor to deter-
mine if you have been provided the
correct garment and other ensemble
elements.
Doffing – If your protective garment is
not contaminated:
• Use care when removing your
garment, since you will want to avoid
contact with ordinary fireground
soiling.
• Remove your coat and other ensemble
elements in the reverse order of the
donning process.
• Remove your pants and footwear last.
• Inspect your garment as indicated in
the instructions above.
If your protective garment has become
contaminated with blood, body fluids,
chemicals, or other hazardous sub-
stances, use extreme caution in
removing your garment and do not
contact the surface of your garment
with your bare hands. Seek assistance
in removing your garment and other
parts of your ensemble to minimize
your exposure to any contaminants.
Any damage or change in condition
must be corrected before you reuse
your garment.
Care and Maintenance
Instructions
Importance of Clean and Maintained
Garments – It is important that you
keep your protective garment clean,
free of contamination, and properly
maintained at all times. Protective
garments that are dirty or contaminated
pose significant hazards. Wearing
soiled or contaminated clothing can
cause acute or long-term health
hazards. Many contaminants can be
absorbed by the skin, and some are
carcinogenic. In addition, many types of
contaminants are flammable, and
garments that are contaminated may
absorb heat at a faster rate than clean
garments. Therefore, if your garment
becomes soiled, you should clean it
after use. It is also recommended that
you take a shower following any fire or
other type of emergency where you
ser Information Guide – Protective Garments for NFPA 1951, NFPA 1977, NFPA 1992 and NFPA 1999

believe your clothing and equipment
may have been contaminated.
Cleaning Precautions – In cleaning
your protective garment:
• Remove any items placed in the
pockets of your garment before
washing.
• Use only mild detergents with a pH
range of not less than 6.0 pH and not
greater than 9.5 pH as indicated on
the product’s material safety data
sheet (MSDS) or original container. Do
not use detergents or cleaning agents
that are not approved by Honeywell,
as categorized on our website
www.HoneywellFirstResponderSer-
vices.com.
• Never use solvent or chlorine bleach
or cleaning agents that contain
chlorine bleach. These substances
rapidly break down garment
materials.
• Do not use wash water or drying
temperatures above 105°F (40°C).
• Wear protective gloves and eye/face
splash protection when cleaning
soiled items.
• Do not wash your protective garment
or other protective clothing with
personal items, in your personal
laundry, or at a laundromat.
• Do not dry clean your protective
garment. Dry cleaning will destroy
certain materials and components
used in the construction of your
garment.
Routine Cleaning – Use these proce-
dures only to perform spot cleaning of
your garment. Clean your protective
garment after each use or whenever
your garment becomes soiled. If more
than spot cleaning is required, use the
machine-washing instructions provided
in the next section. The routine cleaning
procedures will not provide a full and
complete cleaning of your garments.
Use the following procedures only for
routine cleaning by hand of your protec-
tive garment in a utility sink:
1. Choose a utility sink that is specifi-
cally designated for cleaning
protective clothing; do not use a
kitchen sink or other sink that is
employed for personal items.
2. Brush off any loose debris.
3. Fill the utility sink with warm water.
4. Use a mild detergent in a volume
according to the detergent supplier’s
instructions.
5. Scrub the garment gently using a
soft-bristle brush.
6. Drain the sink and thoroughly rinse
the garment. Conduct a second
rinse if necessary.
7. Inspect the garment and, where
necessary, rewash it or submit it for
machine cleaning or advanced
cleaning procedures.
8. Do not attempt to wring out the
clothing, as this may damage the
garment.
9. Hang the garment for air drying,
preferably on a non-corrosive
hanger in a well-ventilated area,
but not in direct sunlight. Do not
force-dry the garment with a hair
dryer, or place the garment over a
heating duct or radiator.
10.Machine drying may be used
following the specific procedures
given below.
11.Rinse the utility sink using routine
cleaning procedures.
Machine Cleaning – Washing
machines and dryers may be used for
routine cleaning of protective garments
when soiling is not limited to discrete
areas on the garment. Use the following
procedures if machine washing and
drying your garments:
1. Choose a washing machine that
is used for cleaning protective
clothing. While toploading machines
may be used, front-loading washers/
extractors are preferred, as these
machines are less likely to physically
damage clothing and can be
programmed for specific water
levels, temperatures, and times.
2. Brush off any loose debris from the
exterior of the clothing.
3. If your garment has a removable
lining or other features, separate the
garment liner from the shell and
remove any other features such as a
drag rescue device (DRD), if
present. Remove the suspenders
from the pants.
4. If your liner has an inspection
opening, ensure that the opening is
closed before washing.
5. Pre-treat heavily soiled or spotted
areas on the garment shell.
6. Close all hardware and hook and
loop tape on your coat prior to
washing by securing the front
closure on coats and the fly on
pants. Ensure that hook and loop
closure tape is engaged where
present on the front closure, collar
closure, and pockets.
7. Unless otherwise instructed, load
machine to 80% of its rated
capacity. Overloading will result in
inefficient cleaning.
8. Use mild wash settings, a mild deter-
gent, and warm water temperatures.
9. Following washing, remove the
garment from the washing machine
and air-dry it by hanging it on a non-
corrosive hanger in a well-ventilated
area but not in direct sunlight, or put
it in a dryer on a no-heat or low-heat
setting. As with washing, garment
shells and liners must be dried
separately.
10.Inspect the garment and, where
necessary, rewash the garment or
submit it for advanced cleaning
procedures.
Advanced Cleaning – Your protective
garment must be subjected to an
advanced cleaning at least every
12 months at the time of advanced
inspection or whenever soiling requires
additional cleaning. Advanced cleaning
must be performed by Honeywell,
persons qualified by your department
or organization, or by an independent
service provider that has been
accepted by Honeywell. Honeywell
strongly recommends that, when your
garment undergoes an advanced
cleaning, you also have your garment
subjected to an advanced inspection
following the advanced cleaning (see
above).
Decontamination – Proper decontami-
nation of your protective garment will
depend on the type and extent of
contamination. If your protective
garment becomes contaminated with
blood or body fluids, immediately
isolate the garment and inform your
supervisor, department, or organization.
Your protective garment must be
ser Information Guide – Protective Garments for NFPA 1951, NFPA 1977, NFPA 1992 and NFPA 1999

subjected to advanced cleaning using
specialized procedures.
If your protective garment becomes
contaminated with chemicals or other
hazardous substances, immediately
isolate your garment and remove it from
service, taking care not to crosscontam-
inate other clothing. Immediately
inform your supervisor, department, or
organization. Do not wear a protective
garment that was contaminated until
you have verification that the garment is
now free from contamination.
Repairs – Do not attempt to repair your
garment. If it is damaged, report the
damage to your supervisor, depart-
ment, or organization and obtain a new
garment as a replacement. Your protec-
tive garment must be repaired only by
Honeywell or an organization that
has been qualified by Honeywell
First Responder Products.
Retirement and Disposal
The decision for continued service of
your protective garment must be made
by a qualified individual within your
department or organization. If you have
any doubts about your protective
garment and its condition, immediately
bring this matter to the attention of your
supervisor, department, or organization.
Protective garments that are no longer
deemed serviceable for reasons of
damage, contamination, or other unsafe
condition must be disposed of in a
fashion (such as cutting them in unus-
able pieces) whereby the garments
cannot be reused. Contaminated
garments must be disposed of by your
department or organization in accor-
dance with federal, state/provincial, or
local regulations.
If any part of your body is burned or
injured while you are wearing your
protective garment, your protective
garment must be removed from service
and retained by your department or
organization for an appropriate period
as determined by your department or
organization.
