Hand washing glassware

After final clean-up of all contaminated glassware and the work area, remove your gloves and thoroughly wash your hands with soap and warm water. Use a portable G-M counter to check for contamination on your hands, clothes, and work area in the laboratory. Report any areas of unusually high count (above 200 cpm) to your instructor. 

Laboratory glassware, hands, and clothing contaminated with thiols can be deodorized by a solution of Diaperene , a tetraalkylammonium salt used to deodorize containers in which soiled diapers have been washed.
