For decontamination purposes, what facility must be used?

The correct choice for decontamination purposes is a decontamination station. This facility is specifically designed for the safe and effective removal of contaminants from individuals and equipment that may have been exposed to hazardous materials, such as lead or other toxic substances. Decontamination stations are equipped with necessary tools, such as showers, containment areas, and appropriate waste disposal systems to handle the decontamination process safely.

In the context of the decontamination process, other locations like a safe room, utility room, or workstation do not provide the specialized features or safety protocols necessary for decontamination. A safe room is meant for shelter during emergencies, a utility room is typically used for storage of supplies or equipment, and a workstation is more focused on the performance of tasks rather than on decontamination. The use of a dedicated decontamination station ensures that all safety measures are adhered to and that proper procedures are followed to minimize the risk of exposure and contamination.
