Do’s & Don’ts of Glove Use

Grasp one of the gloves and cuff and pull it partway off. The glove will turn inside out. It is important to keep the first glove partially on your hand before removing the second glove.

This protects you from touching the outside of either glove with your bare hands. Leaving the first glove over your fingers, grasp the second glove near the cuff and pull it part of the way off. The glove will turn inside out.

It is important to keep the second glove partially on your hand to protect you from touching the outside surface of the first glove with your bare hand.’
Pull off the two gloves at the same time, being careful to touch only the inside surfaces of the gloves with your bare hands.

Dispose of the gloves by placing inside out in the trash.

Wash hands thoroughly.

Work from clean to dirty — this will help prevent contamination.

Don’t touch your face or adjust PPE with contaminated gloves.

Change gloves when heavily soiled or if they are torn.

Discard gloves after use, never wash or reuse disposable gloves.
