WEARING GLOVES

Disposable gloves should be worn while performing various tasks throughout the workday. The restaurant will ensure that there is a stock of gloves in a variety of sizes at each workstation to minimise the sharing and travelling throughout the restaurant to acquire supplies. Disposable gloves must be worn when:

• Working with ready-to-eat foods

• Receiving deliveries

• Working with raw animal products

• Handling food contact surfaces, tools, utensils, crockery and glassware

• Facilitating guest payment options When to Change Gloves

• In between kitchen tasks

• After clearing dining tables and touching guest tabletop items

• After handling payment options

• If the integrity of the glove is compromised (torn, punctured etc)

HOW TO TAKE OFF GLOVES

1. Grab the outside lip of the glove near the wrist area.

2. Holding your arms pointed downwards, peel the glove away from the wrist to turn it inside out.

3. Pull the glove away until it is removed from the hand and hold the inverted glove with your gloved hand.

4. With your un gloved hand, slide your finger(s) under the wrist of the remaining glove and pull the glove down to remove it from your hand. Be careful not to touch the outer surface of the glove.

5. Dispose of the used gloves in a rubbish bin and wash your hands.
