FW: PPE and religious headwear

[Michael Wishart]

[Posted on behalf of member – Moderator]

Hi All

It is amazing how creative our staff and people can get in times of crisis. There are two methods being used by our staff and I guess other facilities to hold facemasks that work for all I guess.

I have attached pictures if that is ok,this was acquired from one of our nurses who has this worn over her scarf and then attached the mask elastic to the button on the headband. Goes without saying staff have to be encouraged to wash them after use and obviously colours need to comply with uniform requirements. Hope this helps, oh and the headbands were made by our community volunteers.

Kind Regards

PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE!

Good morning,
Can anyone assist with the process of fitting a P2/N95 with religious headwear.
The new staff member has recently completed a term in western Sydney, however has been unable to provide us with any assistance.
Thank you
Kind regards
Kristin
