This section presents sample site-assessment specification language and an analysis of specification development to be used for Biosafety Level 1 or 2 decontamination. Site-specific information may, of course, substantially alter decontamination requirements. Before specifications can be issued, an investigation and site assessment must be conducted. The following text provides an assessment and decontamination hierarchy. Site-specific considerations may substantially alter this hierarchy, and the scope of work should reflect the needed alterations. Safety planning to provide protocols for physical safety and to ensure limited worker exposures must be developed prior to any initial entry.
