What order should techs don garb before they start in the hood under USP 797?

Follow your sterile-compounding SOP, not memory from the last in-service. Typical 797 flow: street clothes and jewelry off, then shoe covers, hair cover, mask (beard cover if needed), hand hygiene, low-lint gown, then sterile gloves—with sterile 70% IPA on gloves before you work in the hood. SCA vs cleanroom suite can change where you gown. If two PDFs disagree, the current master SOP wins. This page summarizes a typical USP 797 garbing pattern for education.
