Why Use Disposable Gloves ?
Given that healthcare workers routinely encounter blood and body fluids, all of which are known to be a transmission route for infectious agents, employers have a responsibility to provide gloves as a means of providing a safe working environment.
Alongside this legislative framework, national evidence-based guidelines for preventing healthcare associated infections (Pratt et al, 2001) identify two main indications for glove use:
- To protect the hands of healthcare workers from contamination with organic matter, such as faeces and vomit, as well as from microbial contamination;
- To reduce the risk of further transmission of micro-organisms to both patients and staff.
