Proper Glove Removal
WASHING HANDS AFTER glove use is important.
Use warm water - wet hands
Apply soap – 15 seconds
Rinse in same method
Dry completely
Only approved (e.g., impermeable) types of gloves should be used but this will vary by task – ask your supervisor if not sure. Gloves must be maintained intact, and stored in a clean and sanitary condition. If gloves become unsanitary or damaged, replace or re-sanitize them. Overall, for good sanitary practices, "treat gloves as if they were your hands."
ALWAYS dispose of gloves in approved containers.
