effectiveness of decontamination procedures and practices. When such procedures or practices are found to be
ineffective, appropriate steps shall be taken to correct any deficiencies.
Decontamination operations shall be performed in one or more areas that have been selected to minimize the
exposure of uncontaminated workers or equipment to contaminated workers or equipment.
All equipment and solvents used for decontamination shall be decontaminated or disposed of properly.
Protective clothing and equipment shall be decontaminated, cleaned, laundered, maintained, or replaced as
needed to maintain their effectiveness.
Workers whose non-impermeable clothing becomes wetted with hazardous substances shall immediately
remove that clothing and proceed to shower. The clothing shall be disposed of or decontaminated before it is
removed from the work zone.
Unauthorized workers shall not remove protective clothing or equipment from change rooms.
Commercial laundries or cleaning establishments that decontaminate protective clothing or equipment shall be
informed of the potentially harmful effects of exposure to hazardous substances.
Where the decontamination procedure indicates a need for regular showers and change rooms outside of a
contaminated area, they shall be provided and meet the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.141. If temperature
conditions prevent the effective use of water, then other effective means for cleansing shall be provided and
used.
Sanitation at Temporary Workplace
An adequate supply of potable water shall be provided on the site.
Portable containers used to dispense drinking water shall be capable of being tightly closed and equipped with
a tap. Water shall not be dipped from containers.
Any container used to distribute drinking water shall be clearly marked as to the nature of its contents and not
used for any other purpose.
Where single service cups (to be used but once) are supplied, both a sanitary container for the unused cups and
a receptacle for disposing of the used cups shall be provided.
Outlets for non-potable water, such as water for firefighting purposes shall be identified to indicate clearly that
the water is unsafe and is not to be used for drinking, washing, or cooking purposes.
