Are you using the right glove for the right task?

Handgards® wants to help you choose the right glove for the right task. With the recent labor shortages, supply chain delays, and the high cost of raw materials, choosing the right glove for your operation is a critical decision that can impact your bottom line. In addition, the pandemic has also forced food establishments to protect their customers as well as their employees. We are now seeing a new “normal” that will require you to add new tasks to your establishment.

Disposable gloves are an essential part of food safety in the food service industry. They help to protect food from contamination by preventing the transfer of bacteria from the hands of food handlers to the food. Disposable gloves are also used to protect the hands of food handlers from exposure to harmful chemicals and other substances that may be present in food.

There are a variety of different types of disposable gloves available for use in the food service industry. The type of glove that is best suited for a particular application will depend on the specific needs of the food service operation. Some of the factors that should be considered when choosing a disposable glove include the type of food that is being handled, the level of dexterity that is required, and the cost of the glove.

It is important to note that disposable gloves are not a substitute for proper hand washing. Food handlers should always wash their hands thoroughly before putting on gloves and after removing them. Gloves should also be changed frequently throughout the day, especially if they become soiled or contaminated.

When used properly, disposable gloves can help to prevent the spread of foodborne illness and protect the health of consumers. Food service operators should make sure that their employees are properly trained on the proper use of disposable gloves.

Here are some tips for using disposable gloves properly in the food service industry:    Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before putting on gloves.

•     Make sure that the gloves fit properly and are not torn or punctured.
•     Change gloves frequently, especially if they become soiled or contaminated.
•     Remove gloves carefully, avoiding contact with the food surface.
•     Dispose of gloves in a sanitary manner.
