1. Place a vinyl sheet measuring 1 metre by 1 metre on the ground, and then place an open 350-litre bin bag on it, rolled down inside out. This operation is to be carried out by two operators called “undressers”, kitted out with appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). 2. Stand the victim in the centre of the sheet and open their clothes: • at the sleeves: start from the collar (neck)working towards the hands; • at the front closure of the jacket or coverall. As opening proceeds, roll the clothes over themselves, turning them inside out. The contamination deposited on the surface of the clothes is thus confined. 3. Slit the bottom of trouser legs so that the trousers can be removed without taking the shoes off, and open the trousers at the waist and roll them fully down over themselves.
