areas useless and increases the chances of health hazards. Three fundamentals of
contamination control measures include avoidance (pre-event situation), immediate
or operational decontamination (during event measure) and clearance decontamination
or contaminated items containment (as the post event measures). Contamination
control includes avoiding, reducing, removing, or rendering harmless the hazards
from source of contamination. Contamination avoidance prevents disruption to
operations and organizations by minimizing unnecessary time in cumbersome
protective postures
