. Section 3 of this HASP, with material placed in appropriately sized and labeled
containers. Specific decontamination procedures are presented in the following
subsections.
2.8.2.1 Personnel Decontamination Procedure
Personnel entering containment are required to follow proper decontamination
procedures. All employees who leave the Exclusion Zone shall follow the
decontamination process as outlined below.
All employees shall remove all gross contamination and debris from disposal protective
clothing and equipment by vacuuming prior to leaving the EZ. All employees must be
HEPA vacuumed before entering the elevator that leads to the CRZ. Upon entering the
CRZ, each employee shall remove the first layer of protective clothing and place it in the
appropriate container. If the employee performs duties and becomes "grossly
contaminated", the decontamination procedure will include an Alconox (soapy) wash and
a tap water rinse of the outer suit, gloves and overboots prior to removal of the outer
layer.
After employees remove the first layer of tyvek and gloves, they shall then move into a
second decon area where the second tyvek and gloves shall be removed and placed in the
appropriate waste container. After this decontamination, personnel shall proceed to a
washing facility to take full showers. The employee shall dispose of all protective
• clothing upon exiting the decontamination unit; all half-face APR respirator cartridges, if
used, shall be changed out, as needed, but on a daily basis at a minimum. Full-face PAPR
cartridges may be utilized more than one day if functioning as designed and sealed and
decontaminated after each use.
2.8.2.2 Equipment Decontamination Procedure
Since equipment decontamination is difficult, unnecessary equipment shall not be
brought into the controlled areas. All materials used in the regulated area shall be
properly HEPA vacuumed and wet-wiped before leaving the first decontamination zone.
All equipment that becomes "grossly contaminated", will require an Alconox wash and
tap rinse.
2.8.3 Safety Meetings
A safety meeting shall be held each day with the Contractor and each Subcontractor prior
to initiating the scheduled activities and at the beginning of each day. The topics and
content for the Safety Meeting shall be prepared in advance by the subcontractors and
submitted to the Contractor for approval. The safety meeting shall review elements in the
site HASP and the procedures for working on-site, and address the impacts of changes to
the site conditions.
