Attention
At the end of the exercise, the trainer asks the participants to keep the mask, hood and goggles for the following exercises. In real-life situations, single-use equipment (e.g. masks and hoods) must not be reused. Reusable equipment (e.g. goggles or boots) may be disinfected and reused.
Ensure that the participants have understood that reusing single-use equipment during the training is intended to keep costs down.
