Lab Glove Usage
- Wear gloves that extend over the sleeves of your lab coat and cover wrists.
- Check gloves for breaks when you put them on (change if not intact).
- Avoid touching shared clean surfaces with gloved hands (phone, door handle, etc.).
- If allergic to latex, wear non-latex gloves.
- Avoid wetting gloves with solvents or disinfectants which may cause them to deteriorate.
- Always wash your hands after removing gloves.
- Do not wear gloves or any other PPE in public access areas.
