Definition & Operational Usage
A PPE decontamination kit comprises specialized tools and materials intended for the thorough cleaning and decontamination of personal protective equipment following exposure to hazardous substances. This kit typically contains various cleaning agents, brushes, wipes, and additional protective gear for the operator, facilitating safe handling during the decontamination process. Not to be confused with general cleaning supplies, these kits are specifically formulated for use in high-risk environments, such as those encountered in Hot/Warm Zones during firefighting operations.
