    I think there was a study that confirmed it too. The main factor being you’re more likely to feel and wash a soiled hand than change a soiled glove.

    They can get caught in the conveyor and pieces could get into the sandwiches. I don't wear gloves when milling metals with harsh coolants cause the loose material can get caught and rip a finger off suddenly.

      Gloves and mills/lathes are totally a bad combo I agree. But that’s not really a hygiene issue.

      Milling metals is totally different from making sandwiches.

      Also you shouldn’t be wearing loose material around moving machinery. It’ll do more than take a finger.

    Hands sweat so you get moist and closed environment perfect for bacteria growth. Any chef that had to wear gloves at work will tell you they had issues with nail infections and similar.
