GLOVE CARE AND SIZING
GLOVE CARE
IN CHEMICAL ENVIRONMENTS
FOR SINGLE PERSON USE ONLY Individual pairs of gloves must only ever be used by one person. This is to prevent the unintended contamination of chemical, microbial or organic materials. European directive 89/656/EEC. CHECKING WEAR Wearers must take careful note of the condition of their gloves and replace them as soon as any degradation has taken place that renders the gloves ineffective for their intended function. This is especially important for chemical-resistant gloves that offer the wearer protection from serious hazards. Check for gloves that have become brittle or cracked, softened excessively, or show signs of becoming abnormally porous.
BEFORE USE • Make sure gloves are dry both inside and out before reusing • Thoroughly wash and dry your hands before donning the gloves DURING USE • Slightly folding the sleeve of the glove over will help prevent unwanted substances from coming into contact with the arms • Frequently check that the gloves are not displaying any signs of degradation or becoming porous • DO NOT use gloves beyond the recommended exposure time, as highlighted within a COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) assessment REMOVAL • Always follow user instructions when removing gloves. • Heavily contaminated gloves should be disposed of safely and should be removed from the hand by easing each glove off with the other until they can be safely dropped into a suitable container CLEANING • Remove excess contaminant. If safe to do so, gloves may then be washed while worn with mild detergent in warm water (provided that the contaminant does not have an adverse reaction to water) and left to dry
Before cleaning, be sure that the contaminant does not have
an adverse reaction to water.
