What is a Contamination Prevention Plan (CPP) and how does the RCS use it?

A Contamination Prevention Plan lays out the documented procedures and controls used to prevent and manage contamination during entry into a potentially contaminated area. It details how contamination is contained, the decontamination steps, the required PPE, entry and exit controls, monitoring and verification, and who is responsible for each action. The Re-entry Control Supervisor relies on this plan as the authoritative guide for planning, authorizing, and supervising entry activities. It informs pre-entry checks, setup of containment measures, proper donning and doffing of PPE, decon sequences, and continuous monitoring to ensure conditions stay within safe limits. If the plan cannot be followed safely, the RCS uses the CPP to pause or stop entry and implement escalation. The other options miss the point: a budget plan covers costs, a training curriculum covers instruction, and a public relations plan deals with communications rather than the controls and procedures for preventing contamination during entry.
