4.2 DECONTAMINATION <br /> Water Used in decontamination procedures will be collected and <br /> stored on site, pending receipt of analytical results, in labeled <br /> 55 gallon drums. <br /> 4.2.1 Decontamination of Personnel <br /> Minimal decontamination will be necessary if only Level D <br /> protection is used. Boots worn on site should be washed and <br /> removed; disposable gloves used during sampling activities should <br /> be removed and bagged; and, personnel should be encouraged to <br /> remove clothing and shower as soon as is practical at the end of <br /> the day. All clothing should be machine washed. All personnel <br /> will wash hands and face prior to eating and -before and after using <br /> the restroom. <br /> Decontamination will be necessary if Level C protection is used. <br /> The following OSHA specified procedures include steps necessary for <br /> complete decontamination prior to entry into the support zone, and <br /> steps necessary if a worker only needs to change a respirator or <br /> respirator canister. <br /> Modification can be made to the twelve station decontamination <br /> process depending on the extent of contamination. <br /> Station 1: Segregated Equipment Drop <br /> Deposit equipment used on the site (tools, sampling devices and <br /> containers, monitoring instruments, clipboards, etc. ) on plastic <br /> drop cloths or in different containers with plastic liners. Each <br /> will be contaminated to a different degree. Segregation at the <br /> drop reduces the probability of cross contamination. <br /> Station 2: Suit/Safety Boot and Outer Glove Wash <br /> Thoroughly wash safety boots and outer gloves . Scrub with a long <br /> handle, soft bristle scrub brush and copious amounts of <br /> deterge-t/water solution. <br /> Necessary equipment includes: <br /> 1. Wash tub (30 gallon or large enough for person to stand in) <br /> 2 . Detergent/water solution <br /> 3 . Long handle soft bristle scrub brushes <br /> 4-2 <br />
