Donning and doffing is the process of safely putting on and removing disposable gloves. Donning and doffing promote workplace hygiene and prevent contact with harmful substances. Before you don your gloves, first wash and dry your hands thoroughly. Now you may don your gloves, ensuring the gloves are the right fit for the size of your hand and that they lack any cuts, holes, or tears.

By the time you’re done wearing your gloves, they may be covered in a layer of contamination that could be harmful to your skin and therefore require proper doffing procedure. First, using a gloved hand, grab the palm of the other glove and pull it off your hand, turning it inside-out as you remove it. Hold the removed glove in the remaining gloved hand. Next, tuck your fingers underneath the wrist of the second glove and peel it off, turning it inside-out over the first glove. Safely dispose of the gloves. Finally, thoroughly wash and dry your hands after doffing your gloves.
