Hi Ruth,

Please find attached the WA Health Dept. poster for donning and doffing PPE, it includes good photos with the hand hygiene between each step of doffing.

Our Infection control consultant put us onto this poster, which we have found to be the best so far.

I hope this helps.

Kind Regards,

Helen Feld

Subject: [ACIPC_Infexion_Connexion] donning and doffing instructions

Hello all
I hope everyone is keeping safe and well

I am overseeing PPE education in our organisation. I would like to standardise the donning and doffing instructions and also provide a donning and doffing script for each of our stations. Does anyone have any resources in regards to this that they would be prepared to share. We are currently using the DHHS posters which I note do not have a hand hygiene reminder between each doffing stage.

Thanks

Hi all,

In regards to the cleaning and disinfection of the industrial safety goggles that you refer to in your e-mail Cate, we are looking at cleaning these after use with a chemical that has a detergent and sanitising action.
We are looking at using a receptacle with a lid to transport the goggles to a pan room to conduct the cleaning.
Would it be better to soak the goggles in the receptacle, so that we could achieve cleaning and disinfection of both the goggles and the receptacle or would the application of the chemical using handtowels/a disposable cloth be better?
Either way, we would rinse both the goggles and the receptacle thoroughly with cold water afterwards and leave to air dry.
I am not sure about how much contact time would be needed and if after several ‘cleans’ would the goggles become cloudy?
Any advice anyone?

Kind Regards,

Helen Feld
