Doffing PPE
(with N95 respirator)
Prep
Will need a second donned associate that is a trained
observer. This associate will monitor and help by reading
each step of the doffing procedure while monitoring that
each step is completed accurately.
The trained observer will have minimal contact with the
contaminated associate. When the trained observer’s
hands come in contact with the contaminated associate
or their PPE, they must immediately disinfect their gloved
hands. If any other part of the observer comes in contact,
follow the proper protocol for removal of all PPE.
Anteroom Setup

• Bleach Sani Cloths
• Bleach buckets for shoes (off of the matt but close enough so
associate can step off mat into the buckets)

drape. Plastic drape should be placed in a manner that allows the
contaminated associate to step out of the patient room and directly onto
the drape/mat.
Inspection

inspect the PPE for contamination, cuts or tears
prior to allowing the associate to remove their
PPE.
