I pay respect to Tasmanian Aboriginal people, and Elders past and present.Thank you very much to those who have responded on and off the list with links and information, this is appreciated.
I had checked the SA Legislation before posting, and thought it was mostly relevant to businesses ‘selling food’ – however on a much closer reading of the Act and Regulations the definition of ‘sell’ included supplying food to patients in public institutions so that makes it clearer!
Interestingly, food handlers in SA are not required to have formal training qualifications but should demonstrate food safety and hygiene skills and knowledge.
These excellent links were also provided to me, which may be useful for other members on this list also:

Hi Cathi,
I am not aware of any specific official requirements for education in the scenario you speak of, however it is always a good thing.
I note that you are in South Australia. The Victorian Government has a site that talks about food safety and gives access to some free education that may be of use.
The site specifies:Food handlers refers to anyone who is involved in any activity that involves food or surfaces likely to come in contact with food, including those in:
* preparing – such as chopping, cooking, thawing
* delivering and transporting
* packing
* serving
* cleaning tableware or equipment that comes in contact with food.Food handlers need to have the skills and knowledge required to keep food safe for the jobs they carry out for your fundraiser. For example, a volunteer required to transport sausages to your barbeque will need particular skills and knowledge in food safety and food hygiene, such as the correct temperature to keep the meat at during transportation, how to test that the correct temperature is maintained, not to transport the meat in a dirty vehicle or with the family dog.
The site that I speak of can be found at the link below:
https://www.health.vic.gov.au/food-safety/food-handler-training
And the free Do Food Safely Course can be found at the following link:

I hope this is of some assistance.

Good morning IPC knowledge community,In the context of a non-hospital setting, do you know if there is any requirements for staff to undertake specific food safety training who are:
* handling or distributing pre-packaged food for provision to patients / residents (not any food preparation)
* stocking and storing foods for clients in e.g. bulk refrigerators / freezers for subsequent distribution to patients / residents

Hello Fiona – the other thing to check is if these brackets are registered with the TGA and on the ARTG as a Medical Device Included Class 1. If they are used with surgical masks in a healthcare setting, then they should be registered as this type of device. I had a quick look but could not find any on the ARTG.

Prevention is better than cure
I acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which we work and live, and respect their ongoing custodianship of the land. I pay respect to Tasmanian Aboriginal people, and Elders past and present.Hi Fiona,
Gleny’s is right, this is a very interesting question. I personally have not come across their use in our facility, but I do remember they were all the rage last year on social media, when everyone was coming up with ‘mask hacks’ or ‘DIY mask projects’.
The brackets/frames were then being recommended as a solution, for people who were not used to the daily wearing of face masks and were struggling with all those little nuisances that come with it, such as fogging up of glasses, difficulty breathing e.t.c. Some sellers of the brackets I recall were even saying that the brackets helped “extend mask life” as it kept the mask from having direct contact with your face.
I remember doing a literature search then and only finding news, magazines or blog articles about the products. Which made sense since it was a new product. So studies were yet to be done on how they affect the transmission of infectious agents. Also I couldn’t find any guidelines or even healthcare facilities that had mentioned that their staff were using them.
I had another quick look again after reading your query and again no sign of any scientific literature about them. Just multiple news articles, blogs e.t.c.
But back to your query:
Does it create a gap in the seal between mask and face?
The CDC this year in April 2021, published an article about how to “improve the fit and filtration of a mask to reduce the spread of COVID-19” and interestingly enough in that article, there was no mention of face-mask brackets/frame or any recommendations for their use.
Their message in that article regarding the masks remained clear, that the mask should “fit snugly against the side of the face and not have any gaps”. Which is contrary to what the face-mask brackets/frames are designed to do, which is to keep the mask away from the face, thus causing the mask to potentially not seal properly to the users face.
The second interesting thing I noted in this CDC article, was the mention about the use of a “mask fitter’ or brace” which unlike the face-mask bracket/frame which is designed to sit under your mask, this one is designed to sit on the outer part of the mask. Here is the article link to read more: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/mask-fit-and-filtration.html#mask-fitters-braces
From CDC: [Inline image]
Image Link:https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/images/your-health/masks/COVID-19_Masks_and_Beards_disposable_fitter-small-200px.pngThe CDC is recommending that these ‘Mask Fitters or Brace” can be used with surgical masks or cloth masks but NOT with tight fitting respirators (P2/N95).
There have also been a few studies that have have been done to support the hypothesis that modifications like the ones mentioned above by the CDC can enhance the effectiveness of filtering.
See below 2 studies I quickly managed to find:
1. There is this study that was published last year in December 2020 by Phillip Clapp called ‘Evaluation of cloth masks and modified procedure masks as personal protective equipment for the public during the CoVID-19 pandemic’.

Additional Light reading resource: There was a WebMD article on the blog page that was written by a Registered nurse in January 2021, discussing the use of the brackets and she talks about the flaw these items have. Here is the link: https://blogs.webmd.com/public-health/20210126/is-it-okay-to-use-a-mask-bracket
* Does it potentially pose a risk as a pressure causing agent?
I guess that might depend on the material and the sizing of the brackets, but the concerns I have seen raised regarding this issue has been about the risk of skin irritation from the plastic or silicone which can cause skin breakouts. The article was published last year in August, 2020. See article:Infectious Disease Experts Warn Against Face Mask Brackets, Which Are Rising in Popularity

* Is removal of the mask in a manner that won’t contaminate still possible with the bracket in place?
This will depend on the design of the bracket as looking online I can see there are various designs with some that attach or hook into the mask to some 3D printed ones that have ear loops on them. So I guess it will all come down to the manufacturers recommendation on how the user can donn the item and safely doff it without contaminating themselves.
* Is the bracket stored in a clean space?
As per the manufacturers recommendation on how to store the item* Is the bracket cleaned after use and before storage?
Again this will be as per the manufacturers recommendation about how to clean or sterilize the item before storage.To conclude, it is hard to endorse and support their use at the moment Fiona, because as we both have found from the research, there have been no studies or trials done so far that show proof of their efficacy. There is also no peer reviewed journals or literature that advocate their use.
In addition, since their introduction to the mask accessory market last year, both the CDC and the WHO have remained silent about them and have not issued any guidelines or statements about them.
But this is just my humble opinion on the matter [Emoji] , I too will wait to see what the rest of the brain trust stance is on this as am sure it will be a query we will all come across soon.

Are they being used with N95 masks in addition to surgical masks?
If so, have you done any fit testing with the Mask Bracket/Face Mask Inner Support Frame in situ?

Dear Brains Trust,
We have recently started to see the use of face mask brackets / inserts creep into use in our facility with staff wearing surgical face masks.
We have been unable to find any specific literature but from an infection prevention and control point of view we have a number of concerns including:
* Does it create a gap in the seal between mask and face?
* Does it potentially pose a risk as a pressure causing agent?
* Is removal of the mask in a manner that won’t contaminate still possible with the bracket in place?
* Is the bracket stored in a clean space?
* Is the bracket cleaned after use and before storage?
Does anyone have any references regarding these products or has anyone investigated and / or authorised the use of these products within their facility.
Kind regards,

Subject: [ACIPC_Infexion_Connexion] IPC lead role requirementsGood Afternoon fellow Ips!
A few weeks ago there was some discussion in this forum about the requirements for IPC leads at Aged Care facilities had to be RN/EN.
It was mentioned that there would be recommendations to change this. You do not need to be an RN/EN to be a great IP. I have worked with many who had a science degree but not licensed practitioners who were fantastic.
We are really struggling to fill positions that have been left as our RN/EN pool is very small.
Does anyone remember the discussion or have a response?
Is this something this college would be willing to get behind as a voice to help aged care facilities with this. I believe this will be an ongoing struggle if we are tied in this way.Thanks
Sarah

Prevention is better than cure
I acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which we work and live, and respect their ongoing custodianship of the land. I pay respect to Tasmanian Aboriginal people, and Elders past and present.Their 9/7/2020 scientific brief is a good read in full . I’m reassured that we are on the right track.
Transmission of SARS-CoV-2: implications for infection prevention precautions
Airborne transmission of the virus can occur in health care settings where specific medical procedures, called aerosol generating procedures, generate very small droplets called aerosols. Some outbreak reports related to indoor crowded spaces have suggested the possibility of aerosol transmission, combined with droplet transmission, for example, during choir practice, in restaurants or in fitness classes.
Prevention summary:
* Identify suspect cases as quickly as possible, test, and isolate all cases (infected people) in appropriate facilities;
* Identify and quarantine all close contacts of infected people and test those who develop symptoms so that they can be isolated if they are infected and require care;
* Use fabric masks in specific situations, for example, in public places where there is community transmission and where other prevention measures, such as physical distancing, are not possible;
* Use of contact and droplet precautions by health workers caring for suspected and confirmed COVID-19 patients, and use of airborne precautions when aerosol generating procedures are performed;
* Continuous use of a medical mask by health workers and caregivers working in all clinical areas, during all routine activities throughout the entire shift;
* At all times, practice frequent hand hygiene, physical distancing from others when possible, and respiratory etiquette; avoid crowded places, close-contact settings and confined and enclosed spaces with poor ventilation; wear fabric masks when in closed, overcrowded spaces to protect others; and ensure good environmental ventilation in all closed settings and appropriate environmental cleaning and disinfection.The 29/6/2020 WHO update is also relevant

[Stop the Flu before it stops you]Hello all I’m following the recent developments re-the letter to the world health organisation flagging that COVID-19 may be transmitted by the airborne route. Is anyone else watching this and if so what do you think the implications will be for ICP if COVID-19 does turn out to be airborne as well as droplet and contact? What if anything are you doing to prepare for this possibility? I work in residential and community aged care so would particularly be interested in your feedback if you are also involved in these fields. Thanks very much in advance.

Hello Sharon, the Tasmanian Infection Prevention and Control Unit (TIPCU) have produced a series of eLearning infection prevention and control videos that you may like to use for orientation. There are 10 in the series and cover a wide range of subjects. Each video runs for between 5 and 7 minutes so they are short and sharp. You can access them here: https://www.dhhs.tas.gov.au/publichealth/tasmanian_infection_prevention_and_control_unit/healthcare_worker_education/healthcare_worker_education_videos
And we also have PPE videos which illustrate how to put on and take off PPE when using Standard, Contact, Droplet and Airborne Precautions. The videos can be found here https://www.dhhs.tas.gov.au/publichealth/tasmanian_infection_prevention_and_control_unit/healthcare_worker_education/proper_use_of_personal_protective_equipment
I hope you find these useful.

SharonGood Morning All,
I have a question relating to Basic Infection Prevention and Control Orientation e-learning packages, suitable for both Clinical and Non-Clinical HCWs.
Many years ago there used to be a wonderful ACSQH basic IPC e-learning package/module available for use in orientation/training for all levels of HCWs. I note now though, the only ACSQH IPC education I can locate appears to be the ACSQH 10 IPC modules. These modules are of course extremely comprehensive and a very valuable suite of IPC training modules and I believe that these IPC modules are particularly good for IPC Link nurses/novice IPC staff, however are quite a commitment for all HCWs to undertake. I have also been advised when reviewing this issue, that of course the ACIPC Foundations course is available, but again I do not feel these courses are suitable to be undertaken by all HCWs.
I feel that some brief (maybe 45 mins – 60mins) standardised basic IPC education/orientation e-learning, that could fill the void between the many varied locally produced PowerPoints/e-learning packages currently in use and the Commissions’ 10 e-learning modules, would be beneficial to all. Particularly if we can communicate standardised IPC messages to all Australian HCWs, as per those outlined in the NHMRC IPC guidelines and assist in enforcing appropriate IPC practices.
I would imagine it would not take much to revise / review the old package and make it widely available again?? Is anyone aware that any work in this area is currently underway, or of other useful basic IPC e-learning packages?
Kind Regards

Hello Pamela, there is probably no evidence that shows direct harm to patients. And that is OK. It is accepted practice that the operating theatre is an operating theatre used for surgical procedure sand is fit for purpose. Which means having food and drink (and probably eating and drinking it in there) is not accepted practice in these areas (as per AORN Standards for example).
And if they suggest ‘show me the evidence’ why not ask them to provide the evidence that eating and drinking in OR is accepted practice and/or is not likely to cause harm. The onus should be on them to provide evidence, not you.Regards

I acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which we work and live, and respect their ongoing custodianship of the land. I pay respect to Tasmanian Aboriginal people, and Elders past and present.Good morning.
We have an issue we need to address with some (special) doctors taking food and coffees into operating theatres (despite this being banned).
They also take their grubby bags in there as wellWhen we crack down on this I am sure I will be told by the doctors to ‘show me the evidence’ …….. blah blah blah!!!!
If anyone can refer me to any evidence or documents that support my position of ‘No food or drink in the OT’ I would be eternally grateful.

Hello Rebecca. Tasmanian Infection Prevention and Control have produced a suite of videos that demonstrate putting on and removing PPE for standard, contact, droplet and airborne precautions. They are freely available at this site:
https://www.dhhs.tas.gov.au/publichealth/tasmanian_infection_prevention_and_control_unit/healthcare_worker_education/proper_use_of_personal_protective_equipmentAnd they are really good. But I may be a touch biased!
