Module 9: Radioactive Contamination Control 
Instructor's Notes 
d. 
During pre-job briefings, discuss measures that will 
help reduce or prevent contamination spread. The 
agreed upon measures should be implemented by 
workers at the job site. 
e. 
Change protective gear (e.g., gloves) as necessary 
(typically as directed by Radiological Control 
personnel) to prevent cross-contamination. 
f. 
Stage areas to prevent contamination spread from 
work activities. 
1) 
Cover work area to minimize cleanup afterward. 
2) 
Cover piping/equipment below a work area to 
prevent dripping contamination onto cleaner areas. 
3) 
Cap contaminated pipes or systems when not in use. 
g. 
Prepare tools and equipment to prevent 
contamination. 
1) 
Bag or sleeve hoses and lines to prevent 
contamination. 
2) 
Minimize the equipment and tools taken into and 
out of contamination areas. 
3) 
Cover/tape tools or equipment used during the job to 
minimize decontamination after the job (i.e., taping 
up a screwdriver before use). 
h. 
Use good housekeeping practices; clean up during 
and after jobs. 
"Good Housekeeping" is a prime factor in an 
effective contamination control program. Each 
radiological worker should keep his/her work area 
neat and clean to control the spread of 
contamination.
