How are employees of the disposal facility protected from exposures?
In addition to the facility’s elaborate cascading airflow and filtration system, employees are provided protective apparel, depending on their level of risk for exposures. This includes special protective suits developed by the Army and known as Demilitarization Protective Ensembles (DPE). Other protective apparel follows the OSHA and U.S. Army recommendations. Although protective apparel is designed to protect personnel, the main protection is provided by engineering controls, air filtration, and chemical agent containment.
