Dress in appropriate PPE Establish water supply Perform physical decon Assist in undressing/ removal of PPE Set up decon corridor Establish perimeters Assist individuals in decon Perform other duties per SOPs 9 32
34 There are several resources to use for determining technical decon procedures. NIOSH pocket guide Technical experts SDSs ERG Emergency response centers Other Pre-incident plans Poison Control Centers 9 33
35 Technical decon may be accomplished using several techniques. Absorption Picking up liquid contaminants Adsorption Liquid interacts with surface of sorbent material Must be compatible Brushing and scraping Remove large particles Not sufficient alone (Continued) 9 34
36 Technical decon may be accomplished using several techniques. Chemical degradation Another material to change chemical structure Dilution Water to flush contaminates Accessibility, speed, economy Evaporation Some evaporate quickly and completely Not generally used (Continued) 9 35
37 Technical decon may be accomplished using several techniques. Isolation and disposal Isolates contaminated items No decon can mean disposal Neutralization Changing the ph Not on living tissue Sanitization, disinfection, or sterilization Reduces Kills most Kills all (Continued) 9 36
38 Technical decon may be accomplished using several techniques. Solidification Treats liquid chemically so that it becomes solid Vacuuming HEPA filters to vacuum solids Not a regular vacuum Washing Uses prepared solutions Accessibility, speed, economy 9 37
39 REVIEW QUESTION What techniques might be used for technical decontamination? 9 38
40 Technical decon stations may vary depending on the needs of the situation and SOPs. 9 39
