Hi Dave,
We just went through a review of our glove policies because of an
accident last year. We decided to have nitrile glove dispensers mounted
in all the major laboratories right next to the entry doors. THe
dispensers are to be checked weekly for supplies when we do our
satellite waste storage checks. In addition, we are getting Ansell 8th
Edition Glove Guides and displaying them next to the dispensers. So if
someone is doing something that could involve an enhanced risk of
exposure, we expect them to consult the guide and or MSDS and use the
appropriate hand PPE. We also have gloves as Pat has indicated below.
