1. Remove the subject from the contaminated environment.
2. Remove the subject's contaminated clothing if possible. \
3. Place the contaminated subject into the fresh air, face into the wind if
possible. RememOer that chemical agents are micro-pulverized particles. The
wind will blow some of it from the contaminated surface.
4, Flush the contaminated area with coplous amounts of water. Officers may de-
contaminate other officers, but per G.O, K-3, suspects must be flushed out by
an ambulance within 45 minutes of exposure'
