Hello all,

 

We use Maxifoam for our site for cleaning of dirty gastronomes and other, for personnel using the chemical they are given heavy duty chemical handling gloves. However, it has been identified that holding oven trays and other such dishes are highly difficult for the operatives with these gloves- I wanted to understand if using Marigold gloves for this purpose are acceptable as per standard?

 

Thanks & Regards,

Urmi

Hi Urmi,

 

This falls under Clause 7.4.5

If gloves are used, they shall be replaced regularly. Where appropriate, gloves shall be suitable for food use, of a disposable type, of a distinctive colour (blue where possible) and intact, and shall not shed loose fibres.

 

I don’t see it being a problem as long as they are a distinctive colour which is distinguishable from your product and checked regularly to ensure they are in a hygienic condition and not falling apart.

 

Kind regards,

 

Tony
