It is fundamental to know the proper ways to don and remove glove during experiment. However, many researchers do not take it seriously and it may lead to the contamination of the hazardous items from the glove to the body or the environment.
The proper steps:
1. Peel the glove at the palm side. Hold it.
2. Use one finger to slide under the remaining glove.
3. Peel over carefully.
4. Throw them into the biohazard bin.
5. Wash hand with soap immediately.
There is a video demonstrating the steps clearly. Bear in mind that the glove has to be removed slowly and with minimal movement to avoid the spread of the particles on the glove to the air or to the body. The backside of the hand is the part that most likely to be contaminated.
