Understanding the Correct Use of Disposable Gloves

The most important thing to keep in mind with disposable gloves is not to rush putting them on. Otherwise, you risk ripping or puncturing the gloves, which will negate the protection they offer.

Wash hands thoroughly before use and use correctly sized gloves to ensure proper hygiene. All gloves should be safely disposed of to prevent contamination, ideally in a sealed waste bag or container.

 

Types of Disposable Gloves: Latex, Vinyl, Nitrile & Long Cuff

The main difference between types of disposable gloves comes down to the materials they’re made from and their length. This may not seem like a big difference, but depending on your industry, the wrong material could render the gloves useless.

Latex gloves are a great option for healthcare, cleaning, or laboratory use, but if you are exposed to chemicals you’ll need to upgrade to nitrile gloves for a more industrial-strength option.

Vinyl disposable gloves are an allergy-free alternative to latex for food handling or general hygiene, and long cuff gloves provide 300mm of extra cuff length for further protection.

 

How to Choose the Right Disposable Gloves

Keeping the right size gloves (or a range of sizes) in easy-to-access locations in your workplace will make it simple for your team to stay safe at work. You’ll want to ensure you select the right material for your industry, so don’t hesitate to contact us if you need help choosing the right pair.

 

Coloured & Specialised Disposable Gloves for Specific Tasks

Our gloves come in a range of colours to help identify which gloves should be used for different tasks or areas of your workplace. We stock latex gloves in white, nitrile and vinyl in blue or clear, and heavy duty nitrile in black.

FAQ's

Are disposable gloves reusable?

No. Disposable gloves are designed for single use only. Reusing them risks cross-contamination, weakened material, and reduced protection. Always discard after use and follow correct removal technique to avoid contact with whatever the glove was protecting against in the first place.

 

What does glove colour coding mean?

Colour coding is used to prevent cross-contamination between tasks or areas. Blue gloves are common in food handling because tears are easy to spot. Black gloves are widely used in automotive and industrial settings. The specific system varies by industry, so follow your workplace or regulatory guidelines rather than assuming a universal standard applies.

 

How do I choose the right glove size?

A well-fitted glove should sit snugly without restricting movement or leaving excess material bunched at the fingertips. Too loose increases snag risk. Too tight causes hand fatigue and tears through faster. Most disposable gloves run from Small to Extra Large. When in doubt, size up rather than down, and trial a box before committing to a bulk order.

 

Are nitrile gloves safe for food contact?

Many are, but not all. Food-safe certification needs to be confirmed on the specific product, not assumed based on the material alone. If your team is handling food, check for the relevant certification before ordering. TigerPak can confirm which gloves in their range meet food safety requirements for your application.
