When to wear a mask

Respiratory Protective Equipment at Work Masks may be necessary if a suspected or confirmed infection may be spread by an airborne route e.g. mulita-drug resistant tuberculosis or other high -risk infections transmitted via the respiratory route.

Have you been fit tested?

Face fit testing is a method of checking that a tight fitting face piece matches the wearers facial  features and seals adequately to their face. It will also help to identify unsuitable face pieces that should not be used.

For more information about fit testing face masks contact Kasmiro Aheer in Infection Prevention and Control on ext 5193.
