Hi everyone,
I've got a question regarding direct food contact material handling. Is it required for material handlers to wear gloves? We're a paperboard packaging company, which I think most consider to be relatively "Low Risk". We've got handwashing procedures in place that spell out anyone working within a direct food contact packaging line, must wash their hands before entering their work area, anytime their hands become soiled, and/or anytime they leave and re-enter their work area for any reason. With that being said, should I still make it a requirement for material handlers to wear gloves? The reason I ask is because a food safety consultant recommended that to me, but I'm still questioning the logic based on our handwashing procedures.
