Four National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) industrial hygienists assessed exposures during boom and vessel decontamination operations on August 10, 2010, in Port Fourchon, Louisiana. At the time of the evaluation, vessels that had been booming and skimming surface oil in the Gulf of Mexico were returning to port because of a declining quantity of oil. These vessels and the boom used to collect the surface oil often were heavily soiled and in need of cleaning and decontamination prior to being released from oil spill response activities. Decontamination operations were on-going in several locations throughout the Gulf states. Decontamination operations evaluated by NIOSH industrial hygienists in Port Fourchon, Louisiana, included two sites: C-Port (570 Dudley Bernard Road, Golden Meadow, Louisiana) and Charlie Company (25770 Highway 1, Golden Meadow, Louisiana). |
