The present invention provides glove removal and/or retention apparatus and a method of removing and putting on gloves using the apparatus.The apparatus comprises housing means having a respective opening to receive, in use, a respective left and right gloved hand. The housing means comprises a hollow tube whose interior is contactable with the exterior of each glove in a light gripping or frictional manner which offers a resistance to removal of the glove on withdrawal of a hand from the glove. The housing provides abutment means for limiting the distance that the glove can be inserted into the housing. The abutment means is positioned to contact the gloved hand between the thumb and index finger and in a preferred embodiment consists apertures into which a thumb of each gloved hand is inserted. The apertures are positioned so that the gloved thumb of one hand can be contacted by the gloved thumb of the other hand. The housings retain the gloves so that the operator can put them on or take them off without having to contact the exterior of the gloves with his bare hands. The apparatus is particularly suited to the removal of relatively loose fitting industrial rubber gloves.
