kontamineringsskyddade

Kontamineringsskyddade is a Swedish adjective used in safety, health and hygiene contexts to describe environments, facilities, equipment or personnel that are protected against contamination by hazardous substances or agents. The term implies that appropriate measures have been implemented to prevent the introduction, spread or persistence of contaminants and to minimize exposure.

The concept is applied in laboratories, healthcare settings, industries that handle chemicals or radioactive materials, and cleanroom environments. In practice, kontamineringsskyddade areas are established through a combination of engineering controls (such as containment, ventilation and negativt tryck), administrative controls (work procedures, access restrictions, training) and personal protective equipment. Decontamination procedures, waste handling, and environmental monitoring of surfaces and air are typical components of a kontamineringsskyddad regime.

Regulatory and standards context: compliance is guided by national safety regulations, for example Arbetsmiljöverket in Sweden, as well as international standards relevant to a given field (for instance ISO 14644 for cleanrooms and biosafety guidelines). The term is used in official documentation, risk assessments and safety plans to denote the required level of protection rather than a specific product.

Notes: The form kontamineringsskyddade is used to describe plural entities (areas, equipment, personnel) that are protected against contamination; singular forms are kontamineringsskyddad.
