Properly Selecting Disposable Gloves in Your Company: Material, Size, and Area of Use
Disposable gloves are essential equipment in many companies: for cleaning, kitchens, hygiene, reception, storage, or short-term protective tasks.
For gloves to truly work in everyday use, material, size, area of application, and stock should be clearly defined.

Disposable gloves should be selected according to their area of use. Important factors are material, suitable size, wearing comfort, storage, and a sufficient supply in the places where they are regularly needed.

Properly Selecting and Storing Disposable Gloves in the Workplace

Brief Answer
Companies should select disposable gloves based on the area of use: cleaning, kitchen, sanitary area, warehouse, or reception. Important factors are appropriate sizes, suitable material, clear storage, and a minimum stock.
Why Disposable Gloves Should Be Planned
Disposable gloves are often ordered as an afterthought. However, it quickly becomes apparent in daily use if only one size is available, the material is unsuitable, or the gloves are stored in the wrong room.

incorrect sizes make use difficult

Nitrile, Latex, or Vinyl?
The choice depends on the application area, wearing comfort, and operational requirements. For many companies, it's important to establish a system rather than making a new decision every time.
Nitrile gloves: often a robust solution for cleaning and hygiene
Latex gloves: elastic, but not suitable for all areas due to potential allergies
Vinyl gloves: often used for simple, short tasks

Don't Forget Sizes
A common mistake: only one glove size is stocked. It is more sensible to have a small standard selection so that employees can actually use the gloves. Depending on requirements, S, M, L, and XL can be stocked in different quantities.
