How are the gloves stored?

• A. Lined up with palms outward and thumbs extended
• B. Paired together with palms facing each other, thumbs folded inward, and fingers facing towards the rear of the locker
• C. Separated individually to the top shelf
• D. In a bag outside the locker

Answer: (B)

Proper glove storage prevents contamination and helps maintain glove integrity. When gloves are stored paired together with palms facing each other, the inner surfaces touch, keeping the outer surfaces clean and dry, which reduces the chance of contaminants transferring between gloves. Folding the thumbs inward protects the cuff openings from snagging and helps preserve the gloves’ shape. Positioning the fingers toward the rear of the locker keeps things neatly aligned and prevents fingertips from sticking out where they could catch on shelving or become contaminated. This arrangement balances cleanliness, easy retrieval, and durability. Storing with palms outward, placing gloves separately on a top shelf, or putting them in a bag outside the locker increases exposure to contaminants, risks damage, and makes access less efficient.
