This is NOT now following best practice as advised by CDC 20 October 2014, namely that hand hygiene is undertaken before and after EVERY step of equipment removal (about 8 or 9 times in all) - see www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/hcp/procedures-for-ppe.html for the check list, and www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/hcp/ppe-training/index.html for selection of training video based on the equipment used.

Thanks for the feedback bi1iruben, and we completely agree on the hand hygiene. That's why it was important to make clear at the beginning of the video that this is not a step by step procedure training video, but rather an overview of some of the steps. Also at the beginning of the video is the link to our actual procedure from our website. Thanks, also, for including the additional resource links above. We've all got to work on best practices together.
