2 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) --- What You Need to Know PPE s Definition and Purpose Your Tasks, Risks, & Needs for PPE Types of PPE and Their Uses PPE Is Specialized clothing or equipment worn by an employee to protect against a hazard. PPE is not your general X work clothes. PPE Does Not Allow Blood or other potentially infectious materials to pass through to or reach the employee s clothes, undergarments, skin, eyes, mouth, or other mucous membranes under normal conditions of use and for the duration of time the PPE is used. 2
3 Why it matters! Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows: Of approximately 770 workers who suffered face injuries, only 1% were wearing face protection(99% were not). You, Me & PPE Protect Don t Infect Gloves Do not replace basic hand hygiene (wash your hands before putting on gloves) Protect against contact with any body fluids or contaminated surface Protect your patient, you, and potential cross-contamination with anyone else Are disposable, one-use only 3
4 Gowns, Aprons, Body Clothing Outer garments worn when soiling of hands or garments with blood or body fluids is anticipated. Garment type and characteristics depend on the task and degree of exposure anticipated Masks, Eye Protection, Face Shields, Caps Wear 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 Airborne Precautions Protects against airborne transmission of infectious agents, i.e., measles, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), varicella (chickenpox), and mycobacterium tuberculosis. PPE can require personal respiratory protection (with fit testing), special ventilation and air handling. 4
5 PPE Uses [fill in the blank] Gloves protect your. Gownsand laboratory coats protect your. Face shields ormasks protect your. Mouthpieces, resuscitation bags, pocket masks, and other ventilations device protect your. Your Tasks and Risks for Exposure? Think about your job and consider any tasks you do that expose you to blood, body fluids, skin, or other potentially infectious materials. What Type of PPE Would YouWear? Giving a bed bath? Suctioning oral secretions? Transporting a patient in a wheel chair? Responding to an emergency where blood is spurting? Drawing blood from a vein? Cleaning an incontinent patient with diarrhea? Irrigating a wound? Taking vital signs? 5
6 What Type of PPE Would YouWear? a bed bath? Giving a bed bath? Generally none Suctioning oral secretions?

Gloves and generally a gown Irrigating a wound? Gloves, gown, mask/goggles or a face shield Taking vital signs? Generally none PPE for the IDG (Interdisciplinary Group) What items should you get? What about your IDG mates? Counselor Hospice Aide Nurse Nurse Practitioner Physical Therapist Physician Social Worker Spiritual Caregiver Volunteer PPE for the IDG What items should you get? What about your IDG mates? Since job descriptions can differ between hospice organizations, your agency is required by OSHA to decide who needs what, and to make it available to you at no cost. 6
7 Right Sizes? Allergies? Your employer must supply right sizes, and have hypoallergenic items for employees needs. Gloves too small Gloves with powder for allergies Who Pays? Your Agency Know What To Take Where Hospital Hospice Residential Unit Home Care Long Term Care 7
