Designed to remove contaminants from responders, their equipment, and victims. This is intended to minimize the spread of contamination and ensure responder safety along with the verification procedures to ensure contamination is not spread to cold zone operations |
Technical Decon |
|
|
Can occur at any point. Rapid reduction of agent from the skin. Quick steps |
Emergency Decon |
|
|
Negating the exponential effects and Hensing victim confidence |
Purposes of Decon |
|
|
Designed to remove contaminants from responders, their equipment, and victims. This is intended to minimize the spread of contamination and ensure responder safety along with the verification procedures to ensure contamination is not spread to cold zone operations
Neutralization of the agent, speed is not a factor |
Technical Decon |
|
|
Can occur at any point. Rapid reduction of agent from the skin. Quick steps |
Emergency Decon |
|
|
Rapid reduction of agent from the skin of many contaminated victims |
Mass Decon |
|
|
Selecting PPE at a level that protects the responder against a threat, OSHA requires PPE level B Limit the number responders the common physical contact with the victims |
Decon considerations |
|
|
Can Decon be conducted safely, any existing resources, agents to be Decon, existing at forecast |
Before initiating Decon the following questions should be considered |
|
|
After dry Decon, Victims should be moved inside of the heated area for soapy water… |
High volume, low pressure |
|
|
Separate the victims who are showing symptoms from the victims who are not showing symptoms, men and women, collect personal items |
Isolation organization of ambulatory victims |
|
|
Chemically unchanged is still |
Hazardous |
|
|
Can be used with wet and dry Decon methods on equipment personnel and PPE |
Brushing and scraping |

Brushing and scraping |
|
|
A form of dry Decon, eliminates the immediate threat to people, property and the environment. To remove contained items and transfer them to a contaminant disposal factory |
Isolation and disposal |

Isolation and disposal |
|
|
To gather the contaminated by sucking it from the surface and placing it in the container, can cause an explosion |

To destroy or inactivate the agent |
Chemical method |
|
|
Sticks to the sorbent material without adding volume to the servant, creates heat that could cause spontaneous combustion, porous clay and other clays |
Adsorption |
|
|
To let the contaminant Degrade itself overtime by allowing it to age |
Chemical degradation |
|
|
The process used to destroy the majority of pathogenic microorganisms |
Disinfection |
|
|
To add a chemical to a containment, in order to change its chemical structure, with the goal of eliminating or rendering it harmless |
Neutralization |
|
|
Destroying all micro organisms |
Sterilization |

Types of Decon available for use by responders |
|
|
The removal of clothing removed approximately 50 to 80% of contamination, use bags to collect identify the individual clothing removed from the victim, wet the victims down before moving their individual clothing |
Decon Corridor |
|
|
High-volume low pressure, remain the same for temperatures as low |
36°F |
|
|
CHEMTREC , Local and regional poison control centers and the national response center can frequently be a source of technical information to aid and determining the correct Decon procedure |
Decon procedure resources |
|
|
Assessing the effectiveness of secon |
Visual, wiping, monitoring |
|
|
The Decon process is carried out in three fundamental stages |
Primary, secondary, tertiary |
|
|
The three most important reasons for decontaminating exposed victims are |
Removing, protect, prevent |
|
|
Initial size up, victim control, Decon setup, mass Decon execution, post Decon |
Guidelines identify five basic steps for the process of mass Decon |

Guidelines identify five basic steps for the process of mass Decon |
|
|
Proper positioning of fire apparatus and hose streams are important |
Mass Decon execution |
|
|
Treatment takes priority over Decon, determine whether contamination is life-threatening, remove the victims clothing decon from top to bottom, diaper left |
Non-ambulatory |

Three components of an effective debriefing |
Direction, participation, solutions |
