Effective Date: 08-04-15

Reviewed Date: 03-17-18

Reference: CDM 3-15/020.00

PURPOSE OF ORDER:

The purpose of this order is to establish information regarding the location and contents of the communicable disease protective equipment kit.

SCOPE OF ORDER:

This order applies to all sworn personnel assigned to, and working at Pitchess Detention Center (PDC) South Facility, in the event they need to contact anyone with a communicable disease.

ORDER:

Pursuant to Custody Division Manual (CDM) Section 3-15/020.00, each Custody Services Division facility shall maintain communicable disease protective equipment kits which shall be strategically located for ease of access by all personnel. These kits are designed to minimize any exposure to communicable diseases as a result of contact.

A communicable disease protective kit is maintained and kept in the PDC South Facility main armory. The main armory is strategically located in the middle of South Facility, just outside of the number eight (8) gate, allowing employees to quickly access items stored inside. The communicable disease protective kit can be located in the armory in a large paper bag labeled “Disease Equipment.”

The protective equipment kit consists of the following:

  • One (1) Tychem by Dupont® bio-hazard suits
  • Three (3) boxes, each containing ten (10) disposable face masks
  • One (1) box containing two hundred (200) disposable gloves
  • One (1) box containing fifty (50) disposable paper towels
  • Two (2) cans of disinfectant spray
  • Ten (10) disposable plastic bags
  • One (1) roll of duct tape
  • 1 resuscitation mask for CPR use only

The kit and its contents shall be inspected quarterly as part of the regular quarterly armory inventory, and the kit contents shall be rotated/refreshed as needed.

Note: Tychem suits are a special purchase, which go above and beyond the CDM requirements. South Facility possesses several of the suits in the con-ex trailer located behind the armory.
