Exposure Control: Removal of Gloves

IX. Removal of Gloves

Removing gloves is completed whereby contamination to the exposed hands is prevented, i.e., the right hand pinches the glove near the edge of the left glove and draws it down to expose the inside. Now the left hand pinches the glove of the right hand and draws it off turning it completely inside out. Place this glove in the palm of the left hand. Make a fist and peel the glove down over the top of the fist, making a ball or packet of gloves. They are now ready to be discarded. Hands are always washed after removing gloves.
