1. A dispensing apparatus attachable to a water dispenser for facilitating effective decontamination of a portion of at least one of skin or a covering of the skin of an individual as part of a decontamination event, the dispensing apparatus comprising:
a housing;
a water dispenser interface supported by the housing and configured to couple the dispensing apparatus to the water dispenser, wherein the water dispenser is adapted to communicate water from a water source to the skin or covering of the skin of the individual;
a water dispensing system comprising a water conduit, the water dispensing system configured to pass the water from the water dispenser through the housing to dispense the water;
an agent dispensing system supported in the housing configured to dispense a composition from a chamber via a composition conduit that passes through the housing, the composition comprising a skin cleansing agent and a fluorescent agent capable of fluorescing when exposed to light; and
a light source supported in the housing so as to emit the light in accordance with a predetermined field of view, wherein the light source is configured to emit the light at a sufficient intensity and wavelength so as to cause the fluorescent agent disposed about the skin or the covering of the skin of the individual to fluoresce at a wavelength in the visible spectrum, and wherein the field of view defines, at least in part, an inspection space in which the portion of the skin or the covering of the skin of the individual can be positioned to detect the presence or absence of the fluorescing fluorescent agent during the decontamination event.
