Wearing gloves is recommended for two way safety, both for the one who is drawing blood and the patient- for protection against blood borne pathogens.

Hi wearing gloves in testing labs is for technicians safety. If they don't wear only their safety is jeopardized. So don't worry

After disinfecting, the person should not touch the area with bare hands and the gloves are for protection to the person who is removing blood from patient. Rest all is ok. No action needed
Next Steps
If u find it unhealthy and a malpractice then go to a different lab
