✓ Correct answer: C. After safely disposing of all contaminated materials Answer: After safely disposing of all contaminated materials Gloves should be removed and hands sanitized after handling and disposing of all contaminated materials to prevent the spread of biohazards. Ensure the area is cleaned before removing gloves to maintain a sterile environment. Gloves should not be removed before the cleanup is completed or after leaving the lab as this increases the risk of cross-contamination.
