How does cross contamination occur when using disposable gloves?
Cross contamination could occur if in taking the gloves off you touched the outside of them, picking up any bacteria that might be on the outside, and then touched the outside of a new pair before putting them on. Or if you set a dirty pair of gloves down on a surface and then set food or clean utensils down on the same surface without washing it first. Anything you touch with dirty gloves should be treated the same as if you had touched it with dirty hands. Cross contamination could also occur if the gloves leak. My way of checking this is to make sure my hands are dry before putting on gloves. If they are still dry when I take the gloves off, I know the gloves did not leak; if not, I wash my hands just to be sure.
