actions with the use of personal protective equipment – gas masks, rubber
gloves, etc.
As at the previous stage, our girls accurately completed all
the tasks and headed to the next stage, where they had to pass
an equipment check and confirm the skills of owning a gas mask. To do this, it was necessary to
perform two exercises: putting a gas mask on yourself and putting a gas mask on
the affected person. Checking the service equipment did not cause any difficulties for the team

sandruzhina's gas masks had a technical malfunction, because of which it could
not be put on the affected person in any way. This affected the time of the exercise,
instead of the permissible 14, it was 18 seconds, which brought sandruzhina 5 penalty
