3. Support Area (non-contaminated). Areas located away from active work areas and out of the zone of potential impact of hazards will be used for staging and support of the work being performed on site. Any materials, equipment, or clothing of personnel must be fully decontaminated prior to entering these areas. 8.0 DECONTAMINATION PROCEDURES As part of the system to prevent or reduce the physical transfer of contaminants by people and/or equipment from on-site, procedures will be instituted for decontaminating anything leaving the Exclusion Area and Contamination Reduction Area. These procedures include the decontamination of personnel, protective equipment, monitoring equipment, clean-up equipment, etc. In cases where the Contamination Reduction Zone is not directly adjacent to the Exclusion Area, gross decontamination will occur in the Exclusion Area, followed by more detailed cleaning in the Reduction Area. This gross decontamination will be performed to the extent necessary to keep contaminants from spreading to other "clean" areas of the site. In general, decontamination at the site consists of rinsing equipment, personnel, etc., with copious amounts of water and washing with detergent water solutions. The spent solution, brushes, sponges, containers, stands, etc., used in the decontamination process must be prop- erly disposed. 9.0 GENERAL SAFE WORK PRACTICES The project operations shall be conducted with the following minimum safety requirements employed: 1. Eating, drinking, chewing gum or tobacco, smoking, or any practice that increases the probability of hand to mouth transfer and ingestion of materials is prohibited in any area where the possibility of contamination exists. 2. Hands must be thoroughly washed upon leaving a contaminated or suspected contaminated area before eating, drinking, or any other activities transpire. 3. Legible and understandable precautionary labels shall be prominently affixed to containers of raw materials, intermediates, products, mixtures, scrap, waste, debris, and contaminated clothing. 4. Contaminated protective equipment shall not be removed from the regulated area until it has been cleaned or properly packaged and labeled. 3100971B/SSP2.DOC 9 April 12, 1996
