Where should workers put their clothes on after leaving a work area?

The appropriate location for workers to put their clothes on after leaving a work area is in the clean room. The clean room serves as a controlled environment where contamination from hazardous materials, like asbestos, is minimized. By changing into clean clothes in this area, workers can reduce the risk of bringing contaminants outside the work zone, thereby protecting not only their own health but also the health of others who may come into contact with them.

A designated dirty area typically serves as a space to discard or store contaminated clothing and gear, while personal vehicles and worksite floors are not suitable for changing clothes after exposure to hazardous materials due to the potential for spreading contamination.
