Key findings 
- In spite of protective clothing, the marker of contamination was found on the skin of 25% to 100% of workers. More breathable clothing did not lead to more contamination than non-breathable clothing, but users were more satisfied.
- Two pairs of gloves led to less contamination than only one pair of gloves. The outer gloves were immediately removed after the task was finished. 
- Active training, including computer simulation and spoken instructions, led to less errors with guidance on which protection to use and how to remove it among healthcare staff compared to passive training. 

Background 
Healthcare staff are at much greater risk of infections such as Ebola Virus Disease or SARS than people in general. One way of preventing infection is to use personal protective equipment (PPE), such as protective clothing, gloves, masks, and goggles to prevent contamination of the worker. It is unclear which type of equipment protects best and how it can best be removed after use. It is also unclear what is the best way to train workers to comply with guidance for this equipment.
