Trusted PPE 5L Antibacterial Hand Sanitiser with Aloe Vera - Includes Pump Dispenser (75% Alcohol)

Product Information

Last month, it was announced that following a public consultation, NHS trusts, primary care and adult social care providers will continue to receive COVID-19 PPE free of charge until 31 March 2023 or until infection prevention and control ( IPC) guidance is withdrawn or significantly amended. This is to ensure staff and their patients are protected as we learn to live with COVID-19. In our tests, we found huge discrepancies in how well face coverings were able to filter bacterial particles. Healthcare providers and community pharmacies are eligible if they are remunerated by the state. Adult and child social care providers are always eligible.

Safeaid has taken the additional measure of having the product registered according to the MDD as well, meeting Standard EN 455. "We did this purely because EN 455 appears to be the product of choice for many healthcare procurement teams, despite the fact that this classification relates to Class I, representing the lowest level of risk." explains Taylor, "Whilst buyers are conscious of the need for the appropriate level of protection, they often specify non-PPE products, such is the level of confusion around glove Standards." The value of the scheme for the period 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2024 will be published in 2023 to 2024. Functioning

On 27 May 2022, the National infection prevention and control manual ( NIPCM) for England guidance replaced the previous IPC guidance for PPE. The UK antimicrobial 5-year national action plan, published in January 2019, stated that the Scottish NIPCM would be adopted in England as national standards. Through the previous PPE portal, more than 6 billion items have been distributed to over 54,000 health, care and public sector providers in England to date

The aid takes the form of free distribution of clinical or medical-grade PPE, consisting of gloves, masks, eye protection, respirators, aprons and gowns to eligible beneficiaries. The Signal brand is synonymous with high quality, innovation and ethical manufacturing practices. Taylor concludes, "We are delighted that we can give our customers peace of mind in knowing that their people are properly protected, together with absolute certainty around supply and product consistency, two of the other issues currently faced by those in procurement." These types of masks conform to specified standards and are made from synthetic, non-woven materials. They filter more than 94-95% (depending on the type) of tiny particles, and have a closer fit designed to protect the wearer. The Vita Group said its face covering had been tested at external accredited testing facilities which showed filtration levels of more than 90%. It said that the discrepancies in results demonstrate the need for mandatory overarching standards to be put in place. We have been in discussion with the Vita Group and we are working together to understand each other's findings.

5. Using the right type of PPE

As always, we hope you are able to use this time to find some valuable respiratory protection resources. Look for other respirator enthusiast organizations proudly showing off their Respiratory Protection Week Participant banners and touting #RespiratorWeek on social media. We look forward to spending this time with you! This can lead to your face covering becoming damp, which reduces the filtration efficiency. This is why we only gave top scores to face coverings which got the balance right. Filtration efficiency is measured based on the percentage of colony-forming units of bacteria that were able to pass through the face covering.
