The long boazded patients will then be sent through the decontamination process on the decontamination roller system. The HEPA vacuum will be used to capture dispersed chemical and biological dusts, powders or liquids Situations have occurred in previous tnctdrnts where the presence of a HEPA vacuum would have allowed for cleaner, safer and more effective mitigation The unit's iinique filtration system will reduce, or eliminate the dispersal of the hazardous agents not accomplished by normal vacuuming The unit can collect minute particles of hazardous agrnts and prevent the release of those agents with remarkable efficiency by passing through vanous stages of filtration This will allow us to mitigate the situation without creating a more hazazdotis atmosphere, as may occur with the use of a standazd vacuum. This pnnctpal also applies to conditions which may require dry decontamination Vacuuming will produce less dispersal of the product versus dusting or scraping while also containing it The wading pools will be utilized for decontaminating the hazardous matenals response team members The members need to have their own decontamination comdor set up in the event of an emergency requinng the immediate removal of the member from their suits This sepazate line will allow for the normal processing of the patients and reduce the chance of cross contamination between the entry team members and the pahrnts The SSTP-350 and SSTP-100 sample, shipping boxes are IATA approved for transport on boazd an aircraft. These boxes will be used to secure samples or evidrnce that need to be shipped to a certified laboratory for diagnostic testing. 4) Personal protective eauioment a Chemical resistant boots b Tychem TK-Level A sorts c Tyvek coveralls d 60-minute SCBA units e 60-minute SCBA spare cylinders f Boot covers The additional SCBA units and spare cylinders listed would enable additional personnel to make entry for moving patirnts out of the contaminated area and to assist in decontamination. They will also make more personnel available for rehabilitation and gatheivig of samples and evtdrnce The issuance of individual parrs of boots, suits, gloves, SCBA and boot covers would allow each team member to have a set of equipment ready to respond in the event they are needed at a scene located in a remote or distant site The equipment can then be placed to individual geaz bags for quick deployment. The issuance of a pair of boots to each personnel are for sanitary masons as well The tyvek coveralls will be issued to victims after decontamination for reasons of modesty, protection from the rnvironmrnt and idrnhficahon through visible recognition. The surfs can also be used by responders if needed, for additional protection The boot covers aze utilized to provide 4
