I have a rather unusual situation I need help on. We are a low risk dry powder food manufacturing facility. While doing a GMP audit, I noticed an employee wearing a leather batters glove on his hand. I questioned him and it turns out he has 3 prosthetic fingers on his hand. He is involved in the blending process at our facility. I told him it was a GMP violation wearing the glove that proper hand washing procedures could not be performed, which stirred up a stink. He explained he wears the glove to protect his prosthetics and was told as long as he wore a nitrile glove over his glove and followed hand washing with his covered gloved hand, it was acceptable. HR said we had to be careful due to the American Disabilities Act. Any thoughts?
