Question
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is not difficult to put on or take off. The art is in doing it in a way that will keep you safe from contamination with any hazard that you may have come in contact with. The best way to get good at it is to practice. So let's practice!
For this activity, you will need a long coat/shirt to substitute for a gown, gloves (preferably single-use latex or vinyl), goggles, and a face mask. These do not need to be proper PPE, but they do need to resemble PPE garments in how you put them on and take them off. You could find yourself a creative and new Halloween costume, but the real point here is to perform the steps to safely put on and remove PPE so that when it is time for you to do it in real life, you will be two steps ahead.
Organize your “PPE” and set up your video camera so that your full body will be shown. Make a one-minute minute video demonstrating the proper way to put on PPE. Then make a one-minute video of how you properly remove and dispose of your PPE. Perform each movement clearly and tell us what you are doing while you perform the action.
