When should gloves be worn?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Question: When should gloves be worn?
Option 1: 'working on computers' — Wearing gloves for routine computer work is generally unnecessary and can even hinder dexterity or contaminate keyboards; gloves are typically not required for this activity unless there is a specific contamination risk.
Option 2: 'upon first entering the lab' — Entering a lab does not automatically mandate gloves; PPE use is driven by the task and associated hazards. Gloves may be required for certain activities but not merely by entry.
Option 3: 'handling toxic or corrosive chemicals' — This is the correct choice because gloves are essential when working with hazardous substances to protect skin from chemical burns, absorption, and contamination. The level of protection depends on the chemical, concentration, and duration, so appropriate glove material must be chosen.
Option 4: 'outside of lab' — Gloves are not universally required outside the lab; in fact, wearing lab gloves outside the work area can spread contaminants and create safety risks. Gloves should be removed and disposed of or cleaned properly before leaving the lab unless a specific protocol calls for continued protection.
