Are nitrile gloves a benefit to reduce transmission when handling or transferring products between workers?

NotĀ necessarilyĀ ā€“ it depends on the task. OurĀ bareĀ hands equally protect us from COVID-19 as would gloves.Ā If onlyĀ bareĀ hands are used, you need to follow the hand hygiene protocols (hand sanitizer, frequent hand washing etc.). With gloves, the same might apply. In addition, workers should be trained on correct donning and doffing of the gloves as well.Ā Carry out a risk assessment to seeĀ whether or notĀ gloves are warranted in your workplace.Ā Ā
