[labnetwork] Providing chemical gloves to users

[Hollingshead, Dave]

Hi Eric,

We provide shared Trionic gloves for our heavy chemical PPE needs. They are replaced as needed with an extra supply that is kept next to each wet bench. We also make a particular point during our hood training that users must leak check the shared gloves prior to each use by inflating with N2. They are required to demonstrate this technique before we check them off on the hood.

Hi Eric,

In our facility we have levels of PPE required.  Inside the Clean Room standard cleanroom gloves are required at all times to prevent particle contamination.  A second pair of gloves is required for any work on the wet-benches or spin coaters.  These gloves are single-use and can be disposed of in the Clean Room solid chemical waste if they get contaminated.  For HF, BOE, Nanostrip, acids, etc., a third pair of elbow-length thicker nitrile gloves, an apron, and a face shield is required.  These items are dedicated for the acid work and re-usable.  We would replace them if they are damaged.

Outside the Clean Room we have similar protocols except we don't have the initial layer to prevent particle contamination and we don't use cleanroom-grade gloves.

I hope that helps a bit.

Thanks,
Nathanael

Hi All

We are reassessing how we should be providing heavier chemical gloves for our users, especially for use with HF. I am curious about how everyone else is handling these types of gloves. For example:
- Is each user responsible for their own pair of gloves?
- Is there a common set of gloves that are replaced periodically?
- Are chemical gloves single use and then disposed of?
- Do you use one type of glove material for all processing?

I would be happy to summarize the responses for everyone.

Thanks

Eric
