A lot of useful information has been published by the CDC, the ECDC, OSHA and other organizations over the past several months on how to use masks and disposable gloves to prevent coronavirus exposure. Unfortunately, not a lot has been written for those who require mechanical hand and arm protection on the job.

That’s why Ansell has published several resources on how to properly clean, sanitize, launder and doff mechanical gloves and sleeves. When combined with a comprehensive COVID-19 hazard assessment and control plan, these techniques significantly reduce the risk of coronavirus exposure for mechanical PPE wearers.
