Lab Safety

There are several types of personal protective equipment (PPE) that are recommended for use to reduce the risk of infection.

1. Face shields: Goggles or face shields can help to protect the eyes from respiratory droplets.
2. Gloves: Gloves can help to protect the hands from coming into contact with respiratory droplets or contaminated surfaces.
3. Protective gowns: Protective gowns, such as isolation gowns or coveralls, can help to protect the skin and clothing from respiratory droplets and contaminated surfaces.

It is important to use PPE correctly and to follow the guidelines provided by public health agencies to ensure maximum effectiveness. PPE should be used in combination with other prevention measures, such as physical distancing and frequent hand hygiene, to reduce the risk of infection.
