Hi all,
Thanks for sharing, Chris.
The Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation just released their
position on fit testing:
http://www.anmf.org.au/documents/ANMF_Evidence_Brief_COVID-19-Fit_testing_and_fit_checking_for_respirators.pdfIn Australia, the Commonwealth Department of Health, National Medical
Research Council, and the Australian Commission of Healthcare Safety and
Quality recommend that both fit testing and fit checking are required for
P2 and N95 respirators. AS/NZS 1715 specifies that users of respirators
are to be fit tested prior to starting work and annually after that. The
NSW CEC also endorses fit testingduring
COVID19.At the very least, I believe frontline healthcare workers, especially those
working in COVID wards, should undergo fit testing (if they’re lucky enough
to have an N95 or P2 mask).Crystal Polson, RN, NP
