What is the primary purpose of a decon corridor's 'clean side'?

The clean side of a decon corridor is the area that is considered decontaminated and safe. Its main purpose is to provide a controlled, one-way transition so responders and victims can exit the decon process without bringing contaminants into the safe zone. Contaminated water and runoff are handled on the dirty side, while the clean side is kept free of contamination to prevent recontamination of people and equipment as they leave. It’s not used for storing supplies or serving as a command post.
