Good job on the video. Our company does Hazmat response/cleanup so I have a couple of things for you to consider. First we do not wear the face piece while we are suiting up. Why stress the entry person by limiting their breathing through small opening of the face piece. Second we use chemtape which is similar material as suit rather than duct tape. Finally we put the outer glove over the suit and tape because it seals better to the suit vs outer gloves inside suit and tape at wrist area which has a lot of ridges. FYI I got my BS in safety engineering at Utah State so I am glad to see UFRA doing this. Keep up the good work. J
