This kit can also be used in other emergency contexts like floods.
Caution
This kit is not adapted to viral haemorhagic fever outbreaks. For this purpose see the medical kit: KMEDKEBO1-- KIT, VIRAL HAEMORRHAGIC FEVER, 1 team/15 days.
Instructions for use
Follow the instructions on the leaflet included in the kit. Provide adequate training to the staff if needed.
After the operation
Disinfect boots and gloved hands and apron with the red bucket 2 % chlorine solution.
After disinfection, rinse the equipment thoroughly with potable water to avoid damage from corrosion.
Avoid direct contact between the chlorine solution and the skin or clothes as it may cause burns.
Take off mask and gloves and dispose off (for burning or incineration).
Other reusable equipment (buckets, jug...) must dry before storing it.
All persons involved with the procedure should wash their hands with the white bucket 0.05 % chlorine solution.
Precautions for use
Never mix the NaDCC solution with HTH powder: this can provoke a chemical reaction that could be explosive!
