7.0 - DECONTAMINATION PROCEDURES <br />7.1 Personnel Decontamination <br />All personnel must complete appropriate decontamination procedures in a way that is responsive to actual <br />Site conditions before leaving the Site. The decontamination of personnel and equipment will be <br />performed within the exclusion and contamination reduction zones. Wash tubs containing an appropriate <br />decon solution and soft bristle brushes will be used to decontaminate personal protective clothing and <br />boots. Deionized water will be used for the final rinse. The SSHO will visually inspect all PPE and other <br />equipment once decontamination procedures are completed. In general, the four types of decontamination <br />solutions to be considered for PPE include: <br />Water for removal of low-molecular weight hydrocarbons, inorganic compounds, salts, some <br />organic acids, and other polar compounds. <br />Dilute acids (vinegar) for removal of basic (caustic) compounds, amines, and hydrazines. <br />Dilute bases (soaps and detergents) for removal of acidic compounds, phenols, thiols, and some <br />nitro and sulfonic compounds. <br />Organic solvents for removal of nonpolar compounds (organic). <br />LEVEL D/LEVEL C <br />Establish a segregated equipment drop <br />Remove disposable, outer boot covers, if applicable <br />Remove chemical resistant, outer gloves, if applicable <br />Remove hard hat and goggles, safety glasses, or face shield <br />Remove disposable, inner gloves <br />Remove full-face air purifying respirator (Level C only) <br />Each individual will be responsible for inspecting and decontaminating their own respirator in accordance <br />with the ATC Respiratory Protection Program (Policy No. 27). <br />At a minimum the hands and face of each employee must be thoroughly washed upon leaving the work <br />area.
