Worth linking to @H_S_E on risk assessment here https://www.hse.gov.uk/risk/controlling-risks.htm PPE is the last resort & clearly essential for our frontline health workers #COVID19 BUT https://twitter.com/cenricce/status/1245992048932552704
It is first essential to assess the risk in the context of the particular workplace, & then follow a hierarchy which includes here avoidance & reduction of the risk with control measures being put in place . Those measures will ultimately involve provision of suitable PPE AND
That PPE must be accompanied by the right information, instruction & guidance as to its use (with risk assessment required essential as to whether the PPE provided is suitable in the context & as to the risks posed by the PPE) - in other words -
You cannot just hand out PPE and just let health workers just get on with it! Hope that helps STAY SAFE
