Essential PPE During COVID-19

As Michigan gets back to work, you're probably wondering how you can stay safe at your office as an employee, or for CEOs and managers, wondering how to keep your customers, clients, and employees healthy.

Developing a back-to-work plan is essential, and so is having the correct personal protective equipment.

The key feature of the coronavirus is respiratory symptoms, such as dry coughing. It primarily spreads through saliva droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes. That being said, the most essential personal protective equipment items to have on hand in the office are:

• Face masks
• Gloves
• Hand Sanitizer

Face masks protect healthy individuals by preventing them from breathing in saliva droplets of an infected person. The average worker should wear a cloth face mask and practice social distancing in the office.

Hand sanitizer is likely something you already have in your office. Quicker and more convenient than washing hands, the high alcohol content can kill some viruses until you’re able to wash thoroughly with soap and water.

The Importance of PPE in the Workplace

You’ve likely heard a lot about personal protective equipment (or PPE) over the last few months as COVID-19 has spread across the country.

PPE protects its user against many forms of physical harm or hazards in the workplace. Industries like manufacturing and mining have been using PPE as preventative measures to keep employees safe, and now PPE like hand sanitizer, masks, gloves, and face shields are becoming commonplace.

You know that PPE can make the difference between someone spreading COVID-19 and staying safe, but do you know how to implement PPE in your office building? If you’re not a business that usually keeps these items on hand, it can be hard to know what to buy, and how much.
