Top PPE Mistakes to Avoid in Healthcare Settings

Even with access to high-quality PPE, improper usage can endanger patients and staff. Avoid these common mistakes to maximize protection.

1. Incorrect Donning and Doffing

Failing to follow proper steps increases contamination risk.

2. Reusing Disposable PPE

Always dispose of single-use items after each use to maintain hygiene.

3. Touching the Front of Used Masks

This spreads pathogens and defeats the purpose of wearing a mask.

4. Improper Fit

PPE that doesn’t fit well reduces protection and comfort.

5. Ignoring Expiration Dates

Expired PPE may not provide adequate protection.
