Inner latex or PVC gloves and <br /> outer nitrile gloves shall also be worn during contact with potentially <br /> affected equipment or soil. <br /> 6.2 WORK ZONES AND DECONTAMINATION PROCEDURES <br /> Work zones and decontamination procedures will be established in <br /> accordance with guidance provided in Chapters 9 and 10 of the <br /> NIOSH/OSHA/USCG/EPA document "Occupational Safety and Health <br /> Guidance Manual for Hazardous Waste Site Activities." The exclusion <br /> zones will be marked with yellow caution tape. The location of the <br /> zones may be modified to fit applicable field conditions, however, <br /> proposed modifications must be approved by the Health and Safety <br /> Officer. <br /> A minimum two basin wash/rinse station will be placed in the <br /> contamination/reduction zone to facilitate cleaning and removal. of <br /> personal protective equipment. The two wash/rinse stations will be <br /> used by workers to clean and rinse boots and gloves. The ground <br /> beneath these basins will be covered with plastic to ensure the ground <br /> is not contaminated with basin rinse water. A drum or other container <br /> will be designated to disposal of protective equipment that will not be <br /> reused. Discarded protective equipment will be considered hazardous <br /> waste until proven otherwise. <br /> All personnel must follow the appropriate order for removal during <br /> decontamination (boots, coveralls, gloves, respirators). Direct contact <br /> with contaminated protective equipment can be avoided by proper <br /> decontamination sequence. To avoid a potential inhalation hazard <br /> during decontamination, respirators, if used, are the last to be removed <br /> before leaving the contaminated area. <br /> Water, soap and paper towels will be available for cleaning of hands <br /> and face before breaks, eating, drinking or smoking. On-site toilet <br /> facilities will also be available. <br /> 6-1 <br />
