Decontamination Procedures - Setting Up Stations

• Stations must be physically separated in order to prevent cross contamination.
• Stations should be arranged in order of decreasing contamination.
• If possible, stations should be arranged in a straight line.
• There should be separate stations in order to isolate workers from different contamination zones containing incompatible wastes.
• Entry and exit points should be clearly marked.
• The entry to the Contamination Reduction Zone (CRZ) from the Exclusion Zone should be separate from the entry to the Exclusion Zone from the CRZ.
• Dressing stations for entry to the CRZ must be separate from redressing areas for exit from the CRZ.
• Personnel must be decontaminated before entering clean areas of the decontamination facility (like locker rooms).
