Members are advised that further to NTM 03-04 20 February 2004 and ARFC e-mail last week;

Please ensure that any level 2 boots that were submerged in flood water are not worn or decontaminated and are set aside in a secure area until further notice.

Please ensure also, that any level 2 PPE that was contaminated has been bagged and tagged and sent away for launder/decontamination.

Please take care in handling this equipment and all precautions should be taken.

The Union is taking this issue up with regional management to reach a satisfactory and safe outcome.

We will keep members updated.
