[Histonet] Wearing gloves while cutting sections

[LeVier, Rebecca J]

I am not sure that the committee fully understood what the process was.
Could they have been looking at the wrong thing. Did they really mean to
site for this or were they just having a misunderstanding? If it were
me, I would try to get together with them to talk. For me, it is almost
impossible for me to grab a ribbon with gloves on.

Subject: [Histonet] Wearing gloves while cutting sections

While I was on vaction, the safety committee came around and did rounds
in the lab.  They sited us for not wearing gloves while cutting
sections.  My techs tried to explain to them that we did not have to
wear gloves, only when cutting frozen sections or while handling fresh
tissue. I have never worn gloves while cutting paraffin sections.  Now
my manager wants me to write a policy in regards to not wearing gloves.
Does anyone have anything like this in place that they would be willing
to share with me.  Your help would be greatly appreciated.
