Bradburn, Briller&Johnson, Health&Safety Plan <br /> 4.6 Decontamination/Cleaning Procedures <br /> Decontamination/cleaning of equipment is an important method of controlling the spread of hazardous <br /> substances and preventing deterioration of the equipment. Equipment shall be decontaminated/cleaned <br /> prior to coming in contact with the suspected media of concern and/or subsurface,and following contact with <br /> the suspected media of concern. Specific decontamination/cleaning procedures will vary depending on the <br /> equipment used,suspected or know COCs. <br /> Cleaning involves scrubbing equipment with a brush in a solution of non-phosphate detergent(e.g.,Liquinox) <br /> and potable water,followed by a triple rinse of distilled or de-ionized water. For equipment that require more <br /> detailed cleaning procedures, refer to the Field Procedures Section in the Proposal or Work Plan prepared for <br /> the Subject Project. <br /> Contaminated wash and rinse solutions must be containerized by using step-in containers to hold spent <br /> solutions or by other method(s) of containment. Tools that were used in the Exclusion Zone must not be <br /> removed without proper decontamination. <br /> Contaminated materials and equipment used for decontamination(e.g.,clothing,tools,buckets, brushes,etc.) <br /> must be secured in an appropriate container (e.g., drum, sealable bucket) and properly labeled. The spent <br /> decontamination solutions must be transferred to drums, which are appropriately labeled and disposed of in <br /> accordance with local, State,and federal regulations. (Refer to the project speck Proposal or Work Plan for <br /> a more detailed procedure). <br /> 4.7 Work Precautions/Procedures <br /> The following activities are prohibited throughout the duration of the project(unless authorized by the FSC): <br /> • Eating,drinking or using tobacco products; <br /> • Removing PPE while in the exclusion zone; <br /> • Exiting the work area without going through the decontamination process; <br /> • Removing exposed equipment from the work area without going through the decontamination <br /> process; and, <br /> • Disposing of any material or equipment that comes in contact with COC-impacted materials (e.g., <br /> soil,water,etc.)in a manner that is not in accordance with the procedures outlined herein. <br /> 9 <br />
