procedures, medical treatments, chemical
cleanups, or for general infection control. Most
face masks are disposable and are for one time
use purposes.

But did you know?
Some of us are knowingly or unknowingly disposing
of masks and gloves very incorrectly, which,
according to experts, increases the rate of PPE
(Personal protective equipment) waste. Disposing
of used masks or gloves incorrectly could risk
spreading the infection theyre designed to
protect against.

Ways to dispose of the face masks properly
Remove mask from face, be gentle so as to not
disturb liquid and solid contaminants on the
mask Place mask in a plastic bag like a
grocery shopping bag or a zip lock bag Secure
bag tightly
Place plastic bag into the garbage can or waste
disposal unit Wash hands immediately after
disposing of your mask Never put on a new face

Ways to dispose of the gloves properly
Again, peel downwards, away from the wrist,
turning the glove inside out. Continue to pull
the glove down and over the inside-out glove
being held in your gloved hand. This will ensure
that both gloves are inside out, one glove
enveloped inside the other, with no contaminant
on the bare hands.

• Pinch and hold the outside of the glove near the
  wrist area.

  glove inside out. Pull the glove away until it
  is removed from the hand and hold the

• gloved hand.
• With your ungloved hand, slide your finger/s
  under the wrist of the remaining glove, taking
  care not to touch the outside of the glove.
