A comprehensive glove policy ensures that workers use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) to protect themselves from workplace hazards. The policy should clearly define OHS responsibilities, be effectively communicated, and provide necessary resources. [1] [1]

- Outlining procedures for the selection, fitting, maintenance, and inspection of gloves.
- Training workers in the proper use and care of protective gear.
- Establishing a process for competent review of glove selection and use.
- Regularly checking for issues and implementing necessary changes or improvements.
[2] [5] [5] When selecting gloves, consider:
- The hazards involved, including chemical and physical hazards.
- The need for flexibility and touch sensitivity.
- The type and duration of potential contact.
- Potential skin exposure effects.
- Decontamination procedures.
[3] [6] [6] [6] [6] Additional points to remember:
- Choose gloves that adequately protect from specific job hazards.
