Glove Use – Color & Meaning
PICK A CONTRADICTORY COLOR TO FOODS…
WHY? Contradictory colors are easier to spot in the event of glove failure. Using a knife? You could knick the glove resulting in a piece of glove in the food product. Spot it easily with a contradictory color choice.
Protection: Gloves are often worn to protect the hands from potential harm or injury. This could include
protection from sharp objects, chemicals, extreme
temperatures, or rough surfaces.
Safety: In some professions or activities, gloves are a necessary safety precaution. Construction workers,
mechanics, and laboratory technicians, for instance, wear gloves to safeguard against potential hazards such as cuts, burns, or exposure to hazardous materials.
Comfort: Gloves provide comfort and protection by providing a barrier to direct contact when working with cold or hot foods. Gloves can soothe, chill or provide warmth in certain conditions.
Hygiene: Gloves can be used to maintain hygiene standards. Food handlers use gloves as an extension of their hand washing program.
Working with foods means cleanliness is crucial. Wear gloves to prevent the spread of germs,
bacteria, or other contaminants.
Match Your Brand: Match your gloves with your logo or branded color scheme.
Extend The Experience: Gloves are an extension of your uniform and overall food safety program. Match your logo colors, interior design or staff uniforms. Take it to another level with the look of safety.
Food Safety Looks Good On You! Black is the trending color. Everything looks good in black, including you!
Compliment With Color: Have an all black or white uniform? Call out food safety with a complimentary or contradicting color. Pink and Blue look great against black and white and also conveys to your customers you’re wearing gloves.
