Decon in a Bag is an ideal decontamination kit for responders and facilities with limited HazMat decontamination resources.
Each
decon kit contains all the necessary equipment for simple, yet
effective decontamination. In general, removing and bagging the victim’s
clothing removes over 80% of the contaminants. With Decon in a Bag, you
have all the supplies to perform gross field decontamination in a
convenient portable vinyl bag.
The
objective of gross decontamination is to minimize the effects of the
contaminant on the patient as well as decrease the exposure risk to
others. Sometimes complete decontamination in the field is not possible.
A variety of factors such as adverse weather conditions, lack of
privacy, water availability, the type of contaminant and responder
safety may influence your ability to thoroughly decontaminate. Having
Decon in a Bag on hand in your vehicle or at your facility will
strengthen your emergency response capabilities

- Removing
and bagging the victim’s clothing removes over 80% of the contaminants
and minimizes the risk of spreading the toxic agent to others after
exposure to a hazardous chemical, radioactive contamination source or
terrorist attack
- Personal
protective equipment (PPE) shields personnel from contact with
hazardous materials. Although no combination of PPE guards against all
hazards, the equipment selected should provide as much protection as
possible to the skin, eyes, face, hands, feet and respiratory tract.
