are not necessary and are not provided for workers. <br /> • PPE that requires maintenance or parts replacement is decontaminated prior to <br /> repairs or service. <br /> • PPE is decontaminated or prepared for disposal on the premises. Personnel <br /> who handle contaminated equipment have been trained in the proper means to <br /> do so to avoid hazardous exposure. <br /> • Workers are required and trained to immediately exit the work zone, perform <br /> applicable decontamination procedures, shower, and change into <br /> uncontaminated clothing if their permeable clothing is splashed or becomes <br /> wetted with a hazardous substance. <br /> • Procedures for decontamination waste disposal meet all applicable local, State, <br /> and Federal regulations. <br /> Tables 10-2a and 10-2b list project-specific procedures for personnel decontamination <br /> and handling of personnel decontamination waste. <br /> 10.3 Decontamination Procedures for Equipment <br /> All tools, equipment, and machinery from the Exclusion Zone or CRZ are <br /> decontaminated in the CRZ prior to removal to the Support Zone in the event it has <br /> been determined that hazardous material contamination have taken place. Equipment <br /> decontamination procedures are designed to minimize the potential for hazardous skin <br /> or inhalation exposure, cross-contamination, and chemical incompatibilities. <br /> The following are general equipment decontamination procedures established and <br /> implemented during this project. Specific procedures for equipment decontamination <br /> are provided in Table 10-3a and 10-3b. <br /> General Equipment Decontamination Procedures: <br /> • Equipment in the Exclusion Zone that can be used again, that is still operable, <br /> and that will not pose an increased exposure hazard during re-use is left in <br /> Exclusion Zone until it is no longer needed. This eliminates unnecessary <br /> decontamination and reduces the potential for physical transfer of contaminants <br /> outside the Exclusion Zone. <br /> • Equipment that is transported regularly between the contaminated and clean <br /> areas of the facility (e.g., monitoring equipment) is carefully decontaminated <br /> each time it is removed from the Exclusion Zone and the effectiveness of <br /> decontamination is monitored to reduce the likelihood that contamination will be <br /> spread outside designated work zones. <br /> Chapter 10 - 2 <br />
