Not wearing protective mask  
Poor depopulation approach  
Failure to wear protective over boots  
Inadequate disposal site preparation  
Area decontamination conducted during depopulation process  
 

If your attention to detail regarding

PPE is poor, then most likely other key aspects of your response sequence are equally poor. 

Training is Critical to Success and Safety
