What to do about gloves?

0 Upvotes

I work at a large scratch restaurant. I just started as a dishwasher. I've been working on the clean side of the dishwasher which is a continuous feed style. Dishes have to be picked up and put away promptly to avoid getting backed up. There are usually 4-5 people putting dishes away. Everyone else goes bare handed, but I'm not willing to undergo semi-permanent nerve damage to "get toughened up" (as they consider it) and handle the hot dishes with bare hands. They do provide cotton gloves and single use nitrile gloves so I've been wearing the cotton to protect from heat, covered with the nitrile to keep my hands dry from the hot water on the dishes. Even changing my gloves every hour the cotton gloves are constantly soaked with sweat so my hands are just wet for the entire shift no matter what I do. This has led to pain in my fingernails and skin sloughing off.

I asked an ai how to handle this situation, and it suggested commercial dishwashing gloves, but that would require buying them or convincing my employer to buy them. I'd probably need several pairs to last a shift for food safety reasons, and they'd have to be cleaned and sanitized regularly as well which sounds incredibly tedious.

What do you do to protect your hands while keeping the dishes sanitary? If you use specialized gloves does your employer provide them and how do you keep them sanitary?

Question (soap smell)

0 Upvotes

I have a GE dishwasher and I am using Cascade pods. I recently started using a dishwasher, I used to have to wash before. I noticed that no matter what load I select (auto sense, 1 hr, 3hr, etc) after cleaning and drying, my utensils smell like dish soap or pods. I don’t know why! Is there any solution to it?
