Health and Safety Plan <br /> 1319 & 1327 South Madison Street, Stockton, CA <br /> 432770 <br /> 7.0 DECONTAMINATION <br /> 7.1 Sampling and Construction Equipment Decontamination <br /> Decontamination involves the orderly controlled removal of contaminants. All undedicated <br /> sampling equipment and sampling meters (if applicable) will be cleaned prior to and between <br /> each use. All on-site equipment will be decontaminated and allowed to air dry before leaving the <br /> site. Decontamination maybe accomplished using an approved cleaner, water, and steam. <br /> Subcontractors will be responsible for decontamination of their own equipment used during field <br /> operations, as well as disposal of the decontamination fluids. <br /> 7.2 Personnel Decontamination <br /> All site personnel should minimize contact with contaminants. All disposable PPE will be disposed <br /> of as solid waste. Non-disposal PPE must be decontaminated, particularly the safety boots. Any <br /> PPE that cannot be decontaminated should be disposed of along with waste generated from field <br /> operations. <br /> Personnel shall wash and remove PPE prior to leaving the site. At a minimum, gross removal of <br /> contaminants from the PPE, removal of the PPE, and washing of hands (if washing facilities are <br /> located onsite) shall be required upon exiting the work area. <br /> During emergencies,the need to quickly respond to an accident or injury must be weighed against <br /> the risk to the injured party from chemical exposure. It may be that the time lost or additional <br /> handling of an injured person during the decontamination process may cause greater harm to <br /> the individual than from the exposure that would be received by undressing that person without <br /> proper decontamination. The decision must be made by the SSO. <br /> Page 9 <br />
