Videos for proper removal of gloves Part A & B – UNT Health, EH&S effort to promote biosafety and biosecurity Month.

Proper usage and removal of personal protective equipment (PPE) is a critical component of biosafety and occupational health. Gloves, gowns, masks, and other PPE form the first line of defense against hazardous materials, infectious agents, and chemicals. However, improper glove removal can compromise protection and increase the risk of contamination. To address this, UNT Health Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) developed a training initiative highlighting correct glove removal techniques. In collaboration with the Compliance Department and Academic Innovation, EHS produced two instructional videos demonstrating safe glove removal methods.
