One of the pads is sewn near the end of the bandage motionlessly, and the other can be moved around the bandage. The package is stored in a special pocket of a gas mask bag or in a clothing pocket;
The personal first-aid kit contains medical protective equipment and is intended to provide self-help and mutual assistance in case of injuries and burns (to relieve pain), to prevent or weaken the defeat of radioactive, poisonous or emergency chemically hazardous substances, as well as to prevent the disease of infectious diseases.

How to assemble?

Before using a gas mask, you need to make sure that it is working and intact. The instruction involves checking all parts of the product with its subsequent assembly.

A cover is put on the filter box.
Protect glasses from fogging and freezing.
Adjust the headrest straps.
All components of the gas mask are packed into the bag, and then the protective product itself.

It is necessary to take the product by the intercom and place the headgear inside the helmet-mask, after which you can bend the gas mask along the center line and place it in the bag so that the box is directed away from you.

Recommendations

The handling of specific models of gas masks has its own subtleties. So, in the case of the GP-5, you must first fold the helmet-mask after removing it. With one hand they hold the helmet-mask by the goggles, and with the other they fold it along. The mask should cover one eyepiece, after which the helmet-mask is folded across. This closes the second eyepiece.

The gas mask is put in the bag, while the box looks down, and the front face is up. The bag and its pockets should be closed after removing the gas mask. Laying in other ways is also allowed.The main requirement is complete safety during carrying, the ability to quickly reuse. There are no other special requirements.

When using GP-7, the procedure is as follows:

lifting the headgear with one hand;
holding the breathing valve with the other hand;
pulling the mask down;
lifting the mask forward and up (removal from the face);
putting on a headdress (if necessary);
folding the gas mask and removing it into the bag.

The removal of gas masks after staying in places infected with especially toxic substances and microorganisms has its own subtleties.

First of all, fingers are inserted as carefully as possible into the gap separating the mask from the chin - while not touching the outer surface of the mask

Then they become the back of the head to the direction of the wind and move the front part away from the chin. It is finally necessary to remove the gas mask in the same way - without touching its outer surface. Then the RPE must be handed over for processing.

If, nevertheless, this is inevitable, you should quickly wipe and dry it. When this cannot be done immediately, it is still necessary to carry out such processing before storage or wearing. When a knitted cover is put on the gas mask to protect it from rain, dust, or for crawling, the cover can only be removed and shaken out in places that are known to be safe.

During military and special actions, the safety of places for removing the gas mask is established by order of the head based on the results of chemical reconnaissance. In other cases, they are guided by the distance from the source of danger and the time of activity of hazardous substances.

When the gas mask is removed, you must immediately check:

safety of glasses and masks;
mounting straps on communication modules, inhalation and exhalation units;
the presence of a nipple and the safety of drinking pipes;
serviceability of valve systems responsible for inhalation;
properties of filtering and absorbing boxes;
knitted covers;
boxes with anti-fog films;

But this is done mainly by amateur people or those who cannot use the connection.

They do the same if an extreme situation has arisen, and there are already people on the spot authorized to give orders.
