Clean Hands. Healthy Skin. Safer Gloves.
Why hand hygiene before gloving up matters, and how clean, dry hands support comfort and glove performance.
Gloves protect hands from external risks, but only if the skin inside the glove is healthy. This resource explains why clean, dry hands are the first layer of PPE and how hygiene before gloving up affects comfort, skin health, and glove performance.
