CM0 Personal Protective Equipment Management Program 2.15 • Heat-Related Illness: In cases of heat-related illness, protective clothing must be promptly removed (refer to Roux's Heat Illness Prevention Program). Emergency Facilities: • For workers potentially exposed to corrosive materials, quick drenching or flushing facilities must be provided in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.151(c)and 1926.50(g). • Similarly, if workers face other hazards (such as splash or dust)that could harm the eyes or body, readily accessible wash stations are essential. These stations should be properly located and maintained, including regular water changes, as per the manufacturer's instructions. 3.8.3 Protection of Decontamination Line Assistants Should work require a decontamination corridor the following shall be used as guidance. The SHSO/SS (or other designated person) must for ensuring that decontamination line assistants receive appropriate PPE and addressing their protection within the site-specific HASP. Key zones—namely, the Exclusion Zone (EZ), Contamination Reduction Zone (CRZ), and Clean Support Zone—must be clearly marked both in the field and within the site-specific HASP. The following should be considered when preparing for protection of decontamination line assistants. 1. Task Hazard Analysis: A thorough analysis must be conducted for line assistants to determine the optimal PPE level required. Factors influencing this decision include: o Expected or Visible Contamination on Responders o Type of Contaminant and associated respiratory and skin hazards o Total Vapor/Gas Concentrations in the CRZ o Presence of Particulates and specific inorganic or organic vapors in the CRZ o Results of Wipe Tests (refer to Section 5.4) o Slope and Configuration of the CRZ 2. PPE Levels: Depending on the situation: o Line assistants may need to wear the same PPE level as workers in the EZ. o Alternatively, line assistants may be adequately protected by using PPE one level lower(e.g., wearing Level C protection while decontaminating workers who are wearing Level B)." 3.8.4 Procedures to Minimize PPE Contamination Proper work practices and procedures should be implemented at sites to minimize the potential for contact with chemicals of concern while onsite.The following guidance should be considered when developing site- specific procedures: • Opt for single-use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) when feasible to minimize decontamination needs. • Ensure complete sealing of PPE closures and interfaces, including pockets, zippers, and other potential openings. • Position gloves and boots underneath the sleeves and pant legs of outerwear to reduce exposure. • Place hoods outside the collar if they are not already attached. • Utilize disposable outerwear and equipment when suitable to facilitate easy disposal and reduce decontamination efforts. • Secure all junctions with tape to block contaminants from entering gloves, boots,jackets, and suits. 03/2025 Corporate Health and Safety Management Program I ROUX 115
