Reducing Exposure

Gloves made of NRL as well as alternative materials have been cleared by the FDA for marketing as medical gloves.
Reducing Risk
A prudent risk reduction strategy involves an initial survey and assessment, with a coordinated effort to identify and catalogue all NRL products used in the workplace. An ongoing program involves close coordination between both resources and management staff. This will help monitor NRL content of incoming products so management can be prepared to choose appropriate alternatives to protect at-risk employees.
