It's OK to use a glove with a hole in it as long as the hole is on the top part of the glove and near the wrist. True or false?

Answer

False. According to standard safety guidelines, including OSHA standards for bloodborne pathogens, personal protective equipment such as gloves must be intact and free of tears, punctures, or holes to provide a proper barrier against potential exposure. If a glove is compromised, it must be removed and replaced immediately, regardless of where the damage is located.
