The strategy focuses on optimizing disposable glove usage by minimizing waste while maintaining hygiene standards. This involves educating staff on when gloves are truly necessary. Training sessions, seminars with experts, and visual aids help reinforce proper glove use—showcasing scenarios that necessitate wearing gloves to prevent wastage and safeguard health.
Monitoring glove usage is crucial. Workplaces install monitoring systems to track stocks and identify overuse patterns. Monthly reports and feedback loops ensure transparency and encourages departments to reduce glove usage. A reward system acknowledges departments exhibiting significant reduction in usage.
Sustainability is prioritized through introducing biodegradable or reusable gloves. Collaborating with suppliers enables sourcing eco-friendly options, which are pilot tested in select departments. The initiative highlights environmental benefits and subsidizes costs, facilitating adoption. Guidelines are established to ensure the effectiveness and safety of these alternatives.
