PPE should be stored in which way?

PPE should be stored in a clean, dry, protected place so it stays ready to use and won’t be contaminated or damaged. A covered storage area keeps dust, splash, and moisture away, which helps prevent mold, degradation of materials, and transfer of contaminants to skin or clothing when you put the equipment on. Keeping it away from water sources like sinks also reduces the chance of accidental exposure to moisture or sprays that can compromise the integrity of masks, gloves, gowns, and other gear. Storing PPE in a bathroom or near a breakroom refrigerator isn’t ideal because bathrooms often have higher humidity and more potential for contamination, and refrigerators introduce temperature changes and possible cross-contamination from food or beverages. Storing PPE with chemicals exposes it to fumes or chemical residues, which can degrade materials or cause skin irritation. Putting PPE on shelves with other chemicals or in a location exposed to food-related areas makes it harder to keep clean and readily accessible. A dedicated, clean, dry, and covered storage spot away from water sources keeps PPE in good condition and readily usable when needed.
