The preparation of a site for clean-up activity is just as critical as the
cleanup itself. Proper preparation is necessary to ensure that emergency
response operations go smoothly and that workers are protected. If site
preparation is not conducted properly, the health of those doing the
preparation as well as those doing the cleanup can be endangered. Some
major steps in site preparation include:
The construction of roadways
, The elimination of physical hazards
Installing skid resistant strips on slippery surfaces

This lesson, Site Control, explains how to set up a site control program
designed to reduce worker and public exposure to chemical, physical,
biological, and safety hazards at hazardous waste sites. It discusses why
and how to create safety zones (i.e., Exclusion Zone, Contamination
Reduction Zone, and Support Zone) to ensure a safe environment for
support staff and to fight against cross-contamination from those
entering/exiting hot zones. Finally, it reviews the importance of having
effective site security procedures to keep unauthorized outsiders who are
most often not protected, away from exposure.
