 Only load materials required for the procedure. Do not overload the
enclosure with obstructions that might disrupt airflow.
 Large objects should not be placed close together and should be elevated at
least ¼" above the work surface to permit airflow to sweep under the
equipment.
 Secure both inner bags of the source container to the retaining ring with
retaining bands as shown in Figure 5-8.
 After loading and attaching the bags, wait 15 seconds to purge airborne
contaminants from the work area. Do not remove your hands from the
enclosure.
 For small containers, install the access opening cover in place of the
retaining ring.
Work Techniques

operations as far to the rear of the work area as possible.
 Segregate all clean and contaminated materials in the work area.
 Avoid using techniques or procedures that disrupt the airflow pattern in the
enclosure.
