• • <br /> 10.0 DECONTAMINATION <br /> (in compliance with 29 CFR 1910.120(b)(4)(ii)(G) and 1910.120(k)) <br /> The decontamination chapter of the HASP describes how personnel and equipment are <br /> decontaminated when they leave the Exclusion Zone. This chapter also describes how <br /> residual waste from decontamination processes is disposed. Decontamination <br /> procedures are designed to achieve an orderly, controlled removal or neutralization of <br /> contaminants that may accumulate on personnel or equipment. These procedures <br /> minimize worker contact with contaminants and protect against the transfer of <br /> contaminants outside designated work zones. They also extend the useful life of PPE <br /> by reducing the amount of time that contaminants contact and permeate PPE surfaces. <br /> The decontamination procedures described below are designed to meet the <br /> requirements of 1910.120(k) and include project-specific information about: <br /> • the location and type of project decontamination facilities <br /> • general and specific decontamination procedures for personnel and PPE <br /> • general and specific decontamination procedures for equipment <br /> • disposal of residual waste from decontamination <br /> • decontamination equipment and solutions <br /> • the monitoring procedures used to evaluate the effectiveness of decontamination <br /> Emergency decontamination procedures are detailed in the Emergency Response <br /> chapter of this HASP. <br /> Cassidy Bohannon overseas implementation of project decontamination procedures <br /> and is responsible for ensuring their effectiveness. <br /> 10.1 Decontamination Facilities <br /> Decontamination is conducted in the contamination reduction zone (CRZ). The CRZ <br /> acts as a buffer between the exclusion zone (excavation areas) and the support zone <br /> (WWTP Office). The location and design of decontamination stations minimize the <br /> spread of contamination beyond these stations. Separate facilities are used for <br /> personnel and for equipment. The location of these designated facilities are attached <br /> at the end of chapter 11. <br /> 10.2 Decontamination Procedures for Personnel and PPE <br /> Decontamination procedures are designed for the level of PPE used. Project-specific <br /> procedures for personnel and PPE decontamination minimize the potential for <br /> hazardous skin or inhalation exposure, cross-contamination, and chemical <br /> incompatibilities. <br /> Based on the nature of the hazards and duration of work, showers and change rooms <br /> Chapter 10 - 1 <br />
