Removing PPE safely is just as important as wearing it properly. If PPE is used incorrectly, exposure to harmful chemicals or infectious materials can still occur! Avoid contamination by avoiding touching the outside of used PPE, knowing how to clean or dispose of used PPE, and by always washing your hands afterwards. 

Tips for staying safe: Learn how to safely remove gloves, goggles, face shields, and aprons. Know where disposal bins for used  PPE are located. Learn what can be cleaned and reused and what must be disposed of. Finally be sure to follow the proper procedures for washing your hands.
