Hands and arm protection
Gloves are perhaps the most used PPE, although the basic rules for use are not always followed correctly:
- Hands must be washed before and after using gloves.
- You must always check their integrity before using them.
- You can't open doors, pick up the phone, write, etc., if you haven't changed gloves before. This action would spread the contamination.
- Any type of glove does not protect against any risk. It is necessary to choose the model according to the risk to which it is exposed.
- When removing contaminated gloves, always avoid contact of the outer part of the glove with the skin.
