Decontamination is a process used to remove harmful substances from a contaminated area to make it safe for occupancy or use. It can involve cleaning, disinfecting, or removing hazardous materials to reduce health risks. Proper protocols and equipment are necessary to ensure effective decontamination in a hazard zone.
Decontamination is typically conducted in the "decontamination zone," which is often established as a controlled area adjacent to the hot zone, where the hazardous material exposure occurs. This zone is designed to safely remove contaminants from personnel, equipment, and materials before they enter the cold zone, where there is no risk of exposure. The decontamination zone ensures that contaminants are contained and properly managed to protect both responders and the environment.
There are 12 individual decontamination packets in the M295 Equipment Decontamination Kit.
