The hands are never folded under the arms because of perspiration in the axillary region. Sterile personnel must keep their hands in sight at all times, at or above waist level or at the level of the sterile field.

Steam only reaches the area within the gasket of a sterilizer. Instrument trays should not touch the edge of the sterilizer outside the gasket when being removed after flash sterilization.
