WHAT IS PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT? Personal protective equipment, also known as PPE, is equipment worn and used to reduce exposure to workplace hazards that can cause serious illness or injuries. The kind of illnesses and injuries that personal protective equipment safeguards against can include contact with viruses such as COVID-19, chemical, physical, chemical, mechanical, electrical, and other workplace hazards. Personal protective equipment includes a wide range of items, including: Hand sanitizer Antibacterial wipes Face masks Face shields Sanitizer dispensers According to one’s industry and their role, the specific type of personal protective equipment can vary. When you call CONTROLTEK we will be sure you are given the correct types of PPE best suited for your employees, environment, and others (such as customers) who may frequent the property. HOW TO ENSURE THE CORRECT USE OF PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT Before ensuring your team knows how to correctly use personal protection equipment, you should first make sure the design is safe, sturdy and effective. All shields and masks should encourage regular use by being comfortable and non-intrusive. If personal protective equipment doesn’t fit properly or is poorly made so as not to be effective, it can make employees and customers vulnerable to contaminants. Usually, businesses are required to train employees on how to use personal protective equipment, and in many cases, employees are required to train one another to use PPE in the correct manner around these areas: When personal protective equipment is necessary What kind of personal protective equipment is required How to properly put on, wear, and take off PPE The limitations of the protective personal equipment Proper maintenance, care, understanding the lifetime, and how to dispose of expired products Finally, companies that invest in personal protection equipment should have a PPE program in place that addresses all hazards you are trying to avoid, the limitations of the PPE, training, product selection from companies like CONTROLTEK, and the proper use of every item to make sure all components remain effective while working together in synch to achieve the same safety goals. INCLUDE HAND SANITIZER IN YOUR PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT Hand sanitizer gel is an essential piece of a personal protection kit for your businesses. When selecting the right hand sanitizer, there are several factors that should be taken into account: (1) ingredients, (2) quality, (3) container sizes and (4) quantity. When selecting a hand sanitizer gel its ingredients need to kill 99% of all viruses and bacteria, and it should leave the hands feeling moisturized and soft. If your hand sanitizer is greasy or leaves the hands feeling dried, people won’t want to use it thus putting your employees at greater risk for getting ill from a contaminant or virus. CONTROLTEK offers ShieldTEK, a hand sanitizer made in the USA with 70% ethanol alcohol to completely sanitize the hands and added moisturizers for added comfort. It is ideal to have 8 oz hand sanitizer pump tops on individual workstations and desks. The smaller size will keep the area low-profile, while ensuring there is no obstruction to productivity. This smaller hand sanitizer pump size is also perfect for tabletops in cafeterias or in employee lounges. You should also invest in 32 oz hand sanitizer pump tops to place in areas with mid to high foot traffic. These hand sanitizer pump tops are ideal to place on bathroom counters, reception desks, near elevators, and by internal entrances into other sectors of the building. Finally, 1 gallon sanitizer pump tops are critical for areas that see the most foot traffic, and in areas where more people are confined to a given area for longer periods of time. Commercial and office buildings should have one outside the main entrance for people to use as they are entering, and one inside the entryway for people to use as they exit the building. This is also an ideal size to place at the entrance and exit of cafeterias, and it’s ideal to have one in waiting rooms. Surprisingly, an overwhelming number of people only sanitize the palms of their hands. Be sure to rug the gel on the palms, back of the hands, in between fingers, and on the wrist. Some companies even have signage by large hand gel pumps reminding people how to properly sanitize their hands. THE BEST PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT CONTAINS HIGH-QUALITY FACE MASKS AND SHIELDS According to studies conducted by the CDC, people who wear masks correctly have a 70% increase of protection from conducting COVID and spreading it. Finding the right face masks to protect your employees and customers from airborne viruses and contaminants is critical to providing a safe working environment. But you need to invest in the right masks, and ensure your employees wear them properly. The most effective masks are three-play and exceed a 95% bacterial filtration rate. They should also be fluid resistant and have a noseband to give wearers a custom, secure fit. The masks should also have additional features that will encourage employees to wear them for a day at a time. Look for personal protection equipment containing face masks that are latex and fiberglass free, hypoallergenic, and make sure they are soft and comfortable–features that will make the masks appropriate for all types of people. You should also invest in face masks that have spandex ear loops–a soft, stretchy material that makes for easy adjustment and that’s comfortable to wear. In some industries, being able to show your face is critical for business growth. For example, people in the food and beverage and hospitality industries rely on smiling and facial expressions to build connections with guests. Studies show that bartenders and waiters who smile and use active body language get significantly higher tips. For people who rely on facial communication, face shields are ideal replacements for masks. The IC-95 FaceShield by CONTROLTEK is an ideal option as it offers the right level of protection, is comfortable, and easy to wear all day long without any fatigue. The face shield should be full-length to provide complete protection, and make sure it has a wrap-around style headband for better support during all-day wear. The face shield should be lightweight and allow for full head and neck movement. You also want a face shield for your employees that can be adjusted easily and quickly, so make sure they have industrial quality hook & loop straps. The face shields should also offer front and side face protection and have internal industrial rated foam padding for extra comfort.
