This part of BS 7971 gives guidance on carrying out risk assessments on violent situations and on the selection of protective clothing and equipment for use in such situations, and in training of operatives exposed to such situations.

Guidance is also given on establishing systems for the maintenance, storage, preparation, and issuing of protective clothing and equipment, and the segregation, decontamination, cleaning, inspection and eventual disposal of used clothing and equipment.
NOTE Additional guidance on assessment of the suitability of protective clothing and equipment, and factors to be taken into account in improving the design of items of protective clothing and equipment is given in Annex F.
