The 6 Steps of Proper Glove Removal (CDC)
1. Grasp the outside of one glove at the wrist with your other gloved hand. Do
not touch your bare skin.
2. Peel the glove away from your body, pulling it inside out so the
contaminated surface is trapped inside.
3. Hold the removed glove in your remaining gloved hand.
4. Slide your bare fingers under the remaining glove at the wrist. Be careful
not to touch the outside of the glove.
5. Peel the second glove off by pulling it inside out and over the first glove.
This creates a "bag" containing both gloves.
6. Properly discard the gloves in a waste container and wash your hands
immediately.
