gloves that is too small or too big. 2.
Second, wear gloves only when handling chemicals. Also,
do not touch yourself when you are wearing gloves. 3.

them. If they have any rips or tears in them, dispose of them properly and
obtain new ones. If they have been exposed to chemicals, dispose of them
properly and obtain new ones. 4.

no longer need to where gloves, therefore, take them
off. 5.

must remove the gloves and dispose of them properly. |
