Gloves

Here's some good reminders as mentioned on cmmonline.com regarding the use of gloves when cleaning or doing other tasks.

While many cleaning workers use gloves while performing cleaning tasks, simply wearing the gloves might not be enough.

In a recent press release, Impact Products LLC has shared a number of best practices for wearing gloves while cleaning:

• One “size” does not fit all. Most gloves are designed to be used in specific cleaning situations, or to protect the wearer from chemicals, bodily fluids, etc.
   
• Selecting the proper glove is important when working with powerful chemicals such as degreasers, acids, or caustics.
   
• Wearing long-sleeve gloves can offer better protection.
   
• Change gloves between cleaning tasks, or when moving from one part of the facility to another, to prevent cross-contamination.
