Title: Gloves, Emergency Medical, Cleaning, NFPA 1999


Last Updated: 6/20/2013 9:04:54 AM

Previous SEL Number: 01EM-03-GLCL

Description: Emergency medical cleaning gloves (certified as compliant with NFPA
National Fire Protection Association
1999).

ImportantFeatures: Cleaning gloves are relatively thick rubber gloves intended to protect responders' hands from potentially contaminated blood and body fluids with a relatively higher level of physical protection compared to standard examination gloves used in most emergency medical operations. Cleaning gloves must also resist permeation from common disinfectants. Cleaning gloves are likely to be constructed of natural rubber, nitrile rubber, or Neoprene. Glove length, cuff design, and grip finishes will vary with different manufacturer products.

Operating Considerations: Cleaning gloves should not be lined as the linings may absorb hazardous liquids. Cleaning gloves will not provide protection against all "sharps" or other physical hazards commonly encountered in cleaning following an emergency medical operation. Some wearers may be subject to natural rubber latex allergies and should use synthetic gloves instead. Use considerations are provided in OSHA Title 29 CFR
Code of Federal Regulations
Sections 1910.132 and 1910.1030; NFPA
National Fire Protection Association
1500, Standard on Fire Department Occupational Safety and Health Program; and NFPA
National Fire Protection Association
1581, Standard on Fire Department Infection Control Program.
