I would appreciate your help answering these questions. Thanks!!! Do chemistry technicians perform RCS (and other contaminated sample) sample preparation and analysis activities inside a posted contamination area or do their qualifications allow them to perform these chemistry activities outside of a posted Contamination Area? Inside posted Contaminated Areas. Most samples are prepared inside fume hoods which have a Contaminated Area placard and CA tape across the front of the hood. Does your site have Contaminated Areas within the primary lab that are designated only by Contamination Area tape (e.g., on a lab counter where contaminated samples are handled)? Yes, one sample sink outside a fume hood. Does your site have contaminated areas within the primary chemistry lab that are roped off as a posted Contamination Area with a Step Off Pad? Yes, one is roped off with no SOP. The area is located behind a sample rack with very limited accessibility.
