What Happens During Biohazard Decontamination in Bard College, NY

1. Talk it through

The crew leader asks about the people, the property and any privacy concerns. Equipment is packed to match the type of contamination.

Crew members put on protective gear for skin, eyes and lungs. The work area is closed off, and people and pets are kept out.
