How often should I change disposable gloves?
Remember to wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before putting on a new pair of gloves and after removing the old ones. Good hand hygiene is crucial for food safety.
Always follow the specific guidelines and regulations provided by your workplace and local health authorities to ensure compliance with food safety standards.
In a food service setting, it’s essential to change disposable gloves regularly to maintain proper hygiene and prevent cross-contamination. Here are some general guidelines:
Between Tasks
Change gloves between different tasks, especially when handling different types of food (e.g., from handling raw meat to preparing vegetables) to prevent cross-contamination.
After Touching Certain items
Change gloves after touching your face, body, clothing, or any other potentially contaminated surfaces.
After Certain Time Period
Pull the glove over your hand, ensuring that it covers your fingers, palm, and back of your hand. Be gentle to avoid tearing the glove.
When Gloves Are Damaged or Torn
Repeat the process for the second glove, using your gloved hand to handle the second glove. Be cautious not to touch anything other than the gloves.
After Handling Raw Meat
Once both gloves are on, adjust them for comfort and proper fit. Ensure that they cover your wrists and that there are no gaps between the glove and your skin.
After Handling Money
Once both gloves are on, adjust them for comfort and proper fit. Ensure that they cover your wrists and that there are no gaps between the glove and your skin.
