ABSTRACT:
A portable, re-usable, elevated platform that provides a large, non-slip, grated surface on which an individual wearing a fully-encapsulated, hazardous materials suit may stand, and turn as needed to ensure thorough on-site decontamination. The platform generally comprises a top grate and two folding/pivoting support leg assemblies. The elevated design of the platform allows for the collection of the hazardous material runoff in a containment vessel deployed underneath. The platform is fabricated of impervious, strong, lightweight materials to prevent absorption of any hazardous materials and to provide sufficient structural strength while keeping its overall weight reasonable. The design is simple and straightforward, and can be economically manufactured.
