Oil Spill Decontamination Procedures

The mobile form includes fields to document items such as date, spill location, GPS, personnel and decontamination notes. Once the mobile app is filled out a secure PDF is generated. The PDF is easy to share, and a copy is stored in your account for your decontamination records. You can also use the App Builder to personalize and customize this mobile form. Each incident may require different decontamination operations. The nature of the incident, the type of oil, the weather, the temperature, the number of people to be decontaminated, and the number of trained personnel available are a few of the factors which dictate the method, size, and type of decontamination operation that will be required. All response personnel should be briefed on decon procedures before entering the Hot Zone. The Decon zone should always be kept as clean and organized as possible. This will ensure efficient decontamination operations and the safety of all personnel. Basic decontamination procedures are described in the app. These steps may be utilized for most oil spill incidents. Oil spill response incidents involving highly viscous oils may require a more sophisticated operation and more personnel.
