Can PPE (gowns or gloves) be re-worn if a compounder leaves the HD compounding area?

No. Disposable PPE must not be re-used. All PPE worn when handling HDs is considered to be contaminated with, at minimum, trace quantities of HDs. PPE must be placed in an appropriate USP 800 compatible waste container and further disposed of per local, state, and federal regulations. PPE worn during compounding should be disposed of in the proper waste container before leaving the C-SEC.
