Hazmat Workers dressed in
old style rubbersuits is digging up old, rusty drums with a hazardous chemical.
The suit isn't gas tight, and the only sleeve sealing is an elastic band in the wrist,
which is pulled over the rubber- glove. Suits like this isn't used much anymore, most
because of the missing gas tightness.
A member of the hazmat
team is putting on his full face mask, an old-type mask with 2 'gasmask eyes', which make
the mask a kind of scary. The regulator is placed on the air-tanks and a low-pressure hose
is connecting the mask with the regulator.
