- Infection Control: Primarily used for hospitals, clean or server rooms to ensure the work site is completely isolated from the rest of the facility. They come with an array of installation options including HEPA negative air filtration, view windows, sticky mats, zippers and manometer to show filtration air pressure.
What does it involve?
- Plan and design the containment area: Determine the size and layout of the area to be contained, taking into consideration the type and amount of hazardous materials involved, as well as any regulatory requirements.
- Prepare the work area: Clear the area of debris and any other obstacles, and make sure that the work area is ready for containment setup.
- Install the containment barrier: Use materials such as plastic sheeting, tarps, or other materials to create a physical barrier around the work area. Seal all seams and openings to prevent the release of hazardous materials.
- Install the ventilation system: Set up a ventilation system to ensure that any airborne contaminants are safely removed from the work area. This may involve the use of fans, HEPA filters, or other equipment.
- Establish entry and exit points: Set up entry and exit points to allow workers to enter and exit the containment area safely. These points should be equipped with decontamination equipment such as airlocks, showers, and other necessary equipment.
- Monitor the containment area: Regularly monitor the containment area to ensure that the barrier and ventilation systems are working properly, and that there are no breaches or leaks in the containment system.
- Dismantle the containment area: After the work is complete, carefully dismantle the containment area to prevent the release of any hazardous materials, and properly dispose of any materials used in the containment setup.
How does it work?
Containment setup involves creating a physical barrier and ventilation system to prevent the spread of hazardous materials during construction, demolition, or remediation activities. Proper containment setup requires careful planning, design, and monitoring to ensure that workers, the public, and the environment are protected from exposure to hazardous materials.
