    This standard operating procedure outlines the proper order for donning and doffing personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling hazardous materials. It states that PPE should be donned in the order of lab coat or gown, respiratory protection, shoe covers and/or bouffant cap, face/eye protection, and gloves to ensure full coverage of skin and proper fit of equipment. PPE should be doffed in the reverse order while handling the outside of equipment as potentially contaminated and disposing of items appropriately.

    4. Face/eye protection (safety glasses, goggles, face mask)—adjust to fit
    5. Gloves—extend to cover wrists of lab coat or gown
    Doff PPE in the following order:

    1. Gloves
    • Avoid touching the outside of the gloves with bare hands
    • Immediately dispose as biohazardouswaste
    2. Face/eye protection (safety glasses, goggles, face mask)
    • Handle by headband or earpiece
    • Place in designated receptacle for decontamination or dispose as
    biohazardous waste
    3. Lab coat or gown
    • Unfasten ties/buttons/snaps
    • Remove by touching the inside of the lab coat/gown only
    • Turn inside out
    • Fold or bundle and place in designated receptacle for decontamination
    or dispose as biohazardous waste

    from the biosafety cabinet

    • Remove PPE and wash hands before entering public areas
    • Keep gloved hands away from face or items that are handled with bare
    hands
