Which action is recommended after completing a sampling job for hygiene?

• A. Wash hands, wash face, and check clothing and shoes before leaving
• B. Depart immediately
• C. Inspect equipment only
• D. Take boundary measurements

Answer: (A)

After finishing a sampling job for hygiene, the priority is to decontaminate yourself to prevent spreading contaminants. Washing hands and face removes any residue on the skin, and checking clothing and shoes helps ensure nothing contaminated is being carried out of the site. This step protects you and others from cross-contamination and is a standard part of hygiene and PPE procedures. Departing immediately could leave contaminants on you, while inspecting equipment or taking boundary measurements doesn’t address your personal hygiene and potential transfer of contaminants.
