HAZWOPER: Decontamination Procedures

Watch the video for a preview of the training. 

Course Overview

Proper decontamination, or decon, is just as much a part of safely using hazardous materials as personal protection equipment and work practices. This online training video shows workers the value of proper decontamination practices and how to execute those practices to maintain a safe work environment and a healthy lifestyle. The program addresses those necessary decon procedures focusing on exclusion zones, contamination reduction zones and decontamination equipment. The video then explains how decon extends to a medical surveillance examination to determine a worker's state of health following decontamination and what to do if someone is injured prior to proper decontamination. Decontamination is the final step in safely working with hazardous materials, and this online program shows workers how to ensure this pivotal step is properly and thoroughly completed to eliminate the spread of hazardous materials.
