[labnetwork] Glove and mask use

[Bernhard Reineke]

Dear all,

currently, we are in discussions with our occupational safety team and they are having issues allowing us to use masks in the cleanroom, as we work with chemicals and there is a concern that chemicals could be transferred from the gloves to the mask and inhaled. Have you encountered similar problems? Do you have any suggestions on how to address this issue? We would be happy for any suggestion.

I asked my colleagues and they suggested using double gloving and disposing of the contaminated gloves after contact with chemicals. What are your opinions?

Best Wishes,
