Doug:
I would respond that my posting is completely accurate and in accordance with NFPA 921, 13.1.6.1.3.4, which states exactly what I said:
"In those situations where these measures are not utilized or practical, investigators should employ a basic decontamination process that consists of scrubbing and rinsing contaminated gear and equipment with soap (detergent) and
water. ..."
My comment again is besides this, I would recommend IACOSS to check with his statutory agency for his state in Australia. I have extensive experience there with their codes and regulations from a case that went before the Queensland Supreme Court and have learned they have written regulations for almost everything possibility thought of. They may have written SOPs that adhere to their laws.
Hence I stand by my original posting.
