How to Properly Store PPE to Maintain Effectiveness and Safety

Improper storage of PPE can compromise its protective capabilities. Follow these best practices to ensure your PPE remains effective and safe.

1. Store in a Dry, Temperature-Controlled Area

Avoid humidity and heat exposure to preserve PPE material integrity.

2. Keep PPE in Original Packaging

Packaging helps protect against dust, moisture, and contaminants.

3. Follow FIFO (First-In, First-Out) Method

Use older stock first to avoid product expiration.

4. Separate Sterile from Non-Sterile Items

Avoid contamination by storing sterile PPE in designated areas.

5. Regularly Inspect Stock

Check for damage or expiration dates and dispose of compromised items.
