PROPER ENTRY PROCEDURES: ENTRY PREPARATION

Check the packaging to be sure it’s free of any tears or faulty heat seals. Should you see any, set it aside so others won’t use it and select another. Be sure to report the defective clothing. To prevent the outside of your garment from being contaminated, temporary gloves known as ‘donning gloves’ are sometimes used. Usually these gloves are optional, and are mandatory only in the highest quality of cleanrooms.
