The correct answer is: When there is potential hand contact with blood or OPIM

Gloves should be worn in the workplace when there is potential hand contact with blood or Other Potentially Infectious Materials (OPIM). This practice is crucial in ensuring the safety and health of both the tattoo artist and the client. Wearing gloves acts as a barrier, significantly reducing the risk of bloodborne pathogen transmission, which can occur during tattoo procedures. This is a standard component of infection control protocols in the tattoo industry and healthcare settings. In scenarios where blood or OPIM could be encountered—such as during skin preparation, tattoo application, or cleanup processes—gloves provide a critical defense against contamination. They help prevent the spread of infections and protect both parties from exposure to hazardous materials. This approach aligns with best practices in maintaining a sanitary environment and safeguarding personal health.
