Why are disposable gloves important to use?

What type of disposable gloves should be used for handling raw meat?
When handling raw meat, it is recommended to use disposable gloves made from nitrile or polyethylene. Nitrile gloves offer better puncture resistance and are more durable, making them suitable for food handling. Polyethylene gloves are less expensive and provide a good barrier against contaminants but are less durable than nitrile. Always ensure that the gloves are food-safe and change them frequently to prevent cross-contamination.

A food handler with wound on their hand should report it to their supervisor. The supervisor would make sure the wound is properly tended to and should determine if the food handler can be assigned duties other than handling food.
When disposable gloves be worn?
Disposable gloves should be worn in situations where there is a risk of contamination or exposure to harmful substances, such as in medical settings, food handling, or when cleaning up hazardous materials. They provide a barrier to protect both the wearer and others from pathogens, chemicals, or allergens. It's important to change gloves frequently and dispose of them properly to maintain hygiene. Additionally, gloves should be used in conjunction with other safety practices, such as handwashing.
What must a food handler with an infected hand wound do?
A food handler with an infected hand wound must immediately stop working and report the injury to their supervisor. They should cover the wound with a waterproof bandage and wear gloves if they are permitted to return to work. However, if the infection poses a risk of contamination, the food handler should be excluded from food handling duties until the wound is properly treated and healed. It's essential to maintain food safety and prevent the spread of pathogens.
Why do you think it is necessary to wear food safety wear in high risk areas?
That depends what protective clothing you are referring to. Aprons, frocks, hairnets and gloves are to protect the food from possible contamination by the food handler and their clothing. If the food handler is a butcher, chain mail would protect the wearer's body from the cutting instruments. And people who handle hot equipment could wear heat-resistant gloves to protect them from burns.
When working as a food handler when should you change your gloves?
You should change your gloves when they become torn or damaged, after handling raw food items before touching ready-to-eat foods, and when switching between different tasks to prevent cross-contamination. Additionally, it’s important to change your gloves if you take a break or use the restroom. Always wash your hands thoroughly before putting on a new pair of gloves.
