How should disposable gloves be removed properly?

The proper method of removing disposable gloves is to pull them from the inside out without touching the outside. This technique is important for maintaining food safety and preventing cross-contamination. When gloves are removed in this way, the inside surface, which has not come into contact with contaminants, remains on the outside, thus minimizing the risk of transferring any harmful bacteria or viruses to your hands or surfaces.

Using this method ensures that the outer part of the glove, which has likely been exposed to food or other contaminants, does not come into direct contact with the skin. It's a critical practice in the food handling environment to promote hygiene and prevent health risks to employees and customers.

Other methods, such as rolling them off your fingers or shaking them off, may not effectively prevent contamination and could lead to exposure to harmful substances. Similarly, pulling them from the outside in poses a significant risk, as it can easily transfer any pathogens on the glove to the hands.
