Hi,
We are wearing masks again in WA.
Question is how long can you wear a single use mask for up to 4 hrs unless becomes wet soiled or damaged yes?
Is there any written Health Dept policy on this cant find it?
Ta Paul.

Hi Catherine,
I am assuming you dedicate slings to one resident at a time and they are not being shared between residents. If they are being shared they should really be laundered before use on another resident.
If not shared, there is no hard and fast rule for the frequency of laundering such items when used for the one resident. How frequently do you launder residents’ bed linen (I presume this is not daily either unless soiled)? Slings could be laundered less frequently. You may also need to take into account how long it takes for them to be laundered and returned in time for reuse (e.g. in-house vs off-site laundering service) or do you have sufficient extra slings that they can be rotated more frequently.

doherty.edu.auHi Michael,
Could you please put this out as a question.
Can anyone tell me how often hoist slings should be washed, (apart from when they are obviously soiled) ?
With thanks,

Hi Catherine,
All hoist slings that are shared between residents should be laundered
between each residents use.If hoist slings are allocated to specific residents I usually recommend
laundering weekly and whenever visibly soiled.You will need to ensure you have enough slings to allow for laundry
turnaround times.Hope this is helpful.
Regards
