Wearing Gloves
|
The most common exposure to chemicals is on the hands. The
best way to avoid it is by wearing gloves. These are provided and should be
worn properly. To wear gloves properly do the following: 1. First
wear the proper size. Do not wear a pair of 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. Third,
inspect the gloves while you are wearing 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. Fourth,
after you are done handling chemicals, you no longer need to where gloves,
therefore, take them off. 5. Fifth, if
you need to exit the lab for anything, you must remove the gloves and dispose
of them properly. |
