What is the recommended size for a HazMat decon site?

The recommended size for a HazMat decon site is 100x100 feet because this size provides sufficient space for the safe and effective decontamination of personnel and equipment. Ensuring that the area is adequately sized helps maintain the necessary distance and separation between contaminated and clean zones, reducing the risk of cross-contamination.

Additionally, a decon site of this size allows for multiple decontamination lines to operate simultaneously, accommodating a higher volume of individuals or equipment needing decontamination. It enables responders to set up various decontamination stations, including areas for rinsing, scrubber stations, and places where clean clothing and equipment can be distributed. Having enough space can also enhance the safety and efficiency of operations while minimizing the chance of overcrowding, ensuring a more organized and controlled process.
