Personal Protective Equipment
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is specialized clothing and equipment worn by employees for protection against a hazard, such as blood or other potentially infectious materials. This equipment should be readily available and is provided to the employee at no cost.
The employees should never put themselves at risk by not using appropriate PPE and should be removed after use. The employees should take care not to contaminate the skin. Soiled gowns, gloves, etc should be disposed of in a Biohazard Container immediately after use. Hands should always be washed thoroughly after removal of PPE.
