Decontamination is an essential part of safeguarding worker health and safety while ensuring that no contaminants escape into clean areas, unintentionally exposing workers to harmful compounds.
The document discusses the 3 elements of industrial hygiene: recognition, evaluation, and control of occupational health hazards. It describes the process of recognizing hazards through workplace inspections, evaluating exposures through measurements and comparisons to standards, and controlling hazards through engineering controls, substitution, administrative controls, work practices, and personal protective equipment if needed. The goal is to reduce worker exposures to safe levels through this systematic process.
This document provides guidelines for correctly handling and reprocessing reusable stainless steel dental instruments using an autoclave. It outlines 6 key steps: 1) Preparing a sterilization area; 2) Decontamination including cleaning, disinfection and drying; 3) Inspection and maintenance including lubrication and testing; 4) Packaging in materials that allow sterilization and maintain sterility; 5) Sterilization typically using a steam autoclave, with controls to validate the process; and 6) Storing packaged instruments in a clean area to maintain their sterility until use. Correct reprocessing is important both to sterilize instruments and maintain their mechanical integrity for safe use.
COSHH regulations require employers to assess and control risks from hazardous substances. They must identify substances in their workplace, decide on precautions needed to prevent employee exposure, and properly use and maintain control measures. Employers are responsible for risk assessments but can obtain outside help if needed. Potential health effects range from mild irritation to chronic disease or death. Following COSHH procedures can improve employee health, productivity and morale.

2. What is Decontamination?
The removal or neutralization process of contaminants that have amassed on personal protective
equipment (PPC), chemical protective clothing (CPC), and other tools and equipment used in hazardous
waste sites or when working with hazardous substances is defined as decontamination.
Why is Decontamination Important?
Decontamination is commonly used to protect workers from the permeation of various hazardous
materials and chemicals through protective clothing and respiratory equipment to their bodies. When
workers undergo a decontamination process, it minimizes the transfer of contaminants into clean areas,
non-contaminated surfaces, and people who have not been otherwise exposed to these harmful
substances. The unrestrained transmission of poisonous and harmful materials to the community and the
environment is also prevented when decontamination takes place. Decontamination also prevents the
accidental mixing of incompatible chemicals further safeguarding the health of workers.
3. Any worker who is exposed to, or works with,
hazardous materials and chemicals must
undergo a decontamination process when they
leave the contamination zone.
Who is Eligible to Undergo the Decontamination Process?
4. What is a Decontamination Plan?
The employer must have in place a Decontamination Plan before work begins at a hazardous worksite. This
Decontamination Plan details all the elements as recommended by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) to safeguard the health and safety of workers working at hazardous worksites. The Decontamination Plan will
help employers to identify the hazards at the worksite, evaluate methods to prevent worker exposure to hazards,
formalize procedures to prevent contamination of clean areas, understand the number and positioning of
decontamination stations that will be required, and determine the best way to dispose of contaminated PPE and other
equipment, among other aspects.
Thus, the Decontamination Plan helps employers to design and execute a decontamination facility that will adequately
address the needs of the decontamination process by considering the types of contamination, the factors affecting
permeation of contaminants in PPE and respirators, as well as ensuring adequate and proper supplies for
decontamination are always available.
As with all occupational-related safety and health aspects, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
regulates the process of decontamination on a worksite under the HAZWOPER regulation in 29 CFR 1910.120.
Remember, the Decontamination Plan must be reviewed and revised periodically as well as when there are changes to
hazards at the worksite, PPE, or equipment used to change, or when new information becomes available.
5. What are the Types of Decontamination Methods?
Effectively there are two main types of decontamination
methods, the third is the combination of both. These
are:
1. Physical decontamination
2. Chemical decontamination
3. Physical and chemical decontamination
6. 1. Physical Decontamination
When decontamination takes place using methods such as
scraping, brushing, rinsing, wiping, or any other means of
displacement, this is referred to as the physical
decontamination process. This type of decontamination
method is normally the first to be used and is often done
using water or heat. It is commonly used when hazardous
substances in the form of dust or vapor are loosely stuck to
and when glues, resins, and cement have adhered to PPE,
tools, or equipment. As physical decontamination also
includes ‘evaporation’, volatile liquids such as gasoline and
ethanol can also be removed using this method of
decontamination.

7. 2. Chemical Decontamination
Chemical decontamination involves neutralizing a
contaminant using a compatible chemical solution. This
involves dissolving, solidifying, rinsing, sterilizing, or
disinfecting the contaminant from the contaminated
surface, equipment, tool, or protective clothing to which it
is attached. Solvents, surfactants such as household
detergents and soaps, and other chemical cleaning and
disinfecting solutions are used in the chemical
decontamination process. The chemical decontamination
process is hence often a wash/rinse process.

8. 3. Combined Decontamination Process
There are instances when physical decontamination is
inadequate, in this case, chemical decontamination must be
done as well to ensure the complete removal of all
contaminants from a worker’s PPE, and other equipment
used at the hazardous worksite.
