How to correctly & safely remove gloves & apron PPE. From healthcare to hospitality.
PPE should be removed in an order that minimises the risk of self-contamination.

Hook the index and middle finger of the bare hand inside the remaining glove, taking care not to touch the outside of the glove. Pull off the glove, turning it inside out with the first glove inside.
Dispose in clinical or appropriate waste channel depending on local regulations.
To remove apron, break the neck loop and waist straps. Avoid touching the outer surface of the apron with your hands.
