Safety Knights

There's nothing wrong with that other than the fact that they may tear/rip easily.

“The question is” ask is the behavior, question is the noun.

Is the task they are performing regularly staining the skin? What are the exposing themselves to?
Lastly, what is more cost effective, new paper or new gloves every time?

I'd talk with a glove vendor to see if there is a glove that would work better.

My initial recommendation is to consider the “Three F’s” of glove selection: Form, Fit, and Function. If you find yourself needing to modify your gloves as a short-term solution, it may be worth exploring a more appropriate long-term option that aligns with the task requirements and provides the necessary protection and barrier.

In some industries, wearing nitrile gloves over safety gloves is a standard practice. However, it’s important to evaluate this approach within the context of your specific industry and application to ensure it aligns with your PPE hazard assessment. There are certainly pros and cons to consider.

In my experience with manufacturing environments, this practice is often discouraged. Many facilities have designated gloves for specific tasks, and adding a nitrile layer can compromise key performance aspects such as dexterity, grip, or overall safety functionality.

Additionally, layering gloves can increase the risk of Irritant Contact Dermatitis (ICD). Prolonged use can trap moisture inside the gloves, leading to occlusion and potential maceration due to the lack of airflow.

Ultimately, the decision should be based on a thorough evaluation of your industry requirements, the nature and duration of the tasks being performed, and a comprehensive PPE assessment that supports the rationale for glove selection and usage. It think it is tough to make a decision without understanding the key details behind the scene.

It very well could be fine, and it very well could be “not best practice”.
