Despite protective procedures personnel may come in contact with <br /> potentially hazardous compounds while performing work tasks. If so, <br /> decontamination needs to take place. Standard decontamination <br /> procedures for level C and D are as follows: <br /> • Equipment drop; <br /> • Boot cover and glove wash; <br /> • Boot cover and glove rinse; <br /> • Boot cover and glove removal; <br /> • Suit wash; <br /> • Suit rinse; <br /> • Safety boot removal; <br /> • Suit removal; <br /> • Inner glove wash; <br /> • Inner glove rinse; <br /> • Respirator removal; <br /> • Inner glove removal; and <br /> • Field wash. <br /> Workers should employ only applicable steps. All disposable items will be <br /> disposed of in a dry container. Wash and rinse water generated from <br /> decontaminating equipment or personnel that was used in areas of known <br /> concern will be drummed and sampled to determine proper disposal <br /> procedures; non-disposable items will be sanitized before reuse. The Site <br /> Safety Officer is responsible for the maintenance, decontamination, and <br /> sanitizing of the personal protective equipment. <br /> Decontamination of equipment used will be as follows: <br /> • An Alconox or Tri-sodium phosphate and water solution will be used <br /> to wash the equipment; and <br /> • The equipment will be rinsed first with tap water then last with <br /> distilled water. <br /> Each person must follow these procedures in order to ensure that <br /> potential contamination is not transferred off-site. <br /> 9. Special Procedures and Precautions: <br /> Potential hazards to be aware of are electrical safety. Use ground fault <br /> circuit interrupters with heavy electrical equipment. The use of eye wear <br /> may restrict vision, use caution. Protective clothing may prevent full <br /> range-of-motion. Work/rest regimens and replenishment of body fluids <br /> are required to reduce temperature-related hazards. It must be noted that <br />
