Equipment for Personal Protection

As an employer, you must provide appropriate PPE such as appropriate gloves, gowns, masks, and eye protection to workers who are occupationally exposed to blood and other potentially infectious materials, according to OSHA (29 CFR 1910.1030).

PPE must be:

Available in appropriate sizes
Readily accessible or issued to workers

Control Cover Gowns to Enhance Protection for Workers

Routine patient contact, general cleanup, and other situations with potential exposure to bloodborne pathogens or potentially infectious materials may demand the use of control cover gowns. These gowns are ideal for dental offices, nursing homes, mortuaries, dialysis, and blood centers.

PPE that is comfortable will also help ensure the safety of your workers.

Face Masks to Protect at-Risk Workers

Mucocutaneous exposure to bloodborne pathogens presents a significant risk to healthcare and others workers who come in contact with potentially infectious materials. When addressing facial protection, consider the following:

Potential exposure to and contact with body fluids
Amount of potential splashing and spraying
OSHA’s requirements for protection against bloodborne pathogens
Airborne infection risks
Need for protective eyewear

N95 Disposable Particulate Respirators to Protect Against Airborne TB

Safeguard your healthcare workers from airborne Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacteria that causes TB, with these NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) compliant masks.

Protective Eyewear to Shield From Exposure

OSHA requires that masks or masks in combination with goggles, face shields, or glasses with solid side shields must be worn whenever splashes, spray, spatter, or droplets of blood or other potentially infectious materials may be generated, and eye, nose or mouth contamination can be reasonably anticipated.

Studies have demonstrated that occupational exposure to blood or body fluid contact with the eyes, nose, or mouth poses a great risk. In particular, potential eye exposure is frequently involved. Any situation that may involve splashing or spraying of potentially infectious fluids requires OSHA compliant eyewear.

If you’re heavily exposed to fluids, change your face mask after 20 minutes or more frequently if needed. With normal exposure, change your mask with each new patient or after 1 hour of use.
