Decontamination Procedures

Disposable Equipment  

Disposable coveralls, nitrile rubber gloves, disposable sampling materials, unusable safety equipment (used respirator cartridges, punctured disposable boots, etc.), and other materials, such as bags and paper towels, must be discarded in such a way that they cannot be reused.
All items will be double-bagged in heavy plastic garbage bags; the bags will be sealed and then disposed of in a dumpster as part of the facility municipal solid waste stream.

The Tyvek® coveralls and nitrile rubber gloves will be disposed of at least daily and more frequently if they are torn or grossly contaminated.
