About this deal

Fit tests must also be carried out whenever there is a change to the type or model of FFP3 mask or whenever there is a change in circumstances of the wearer that could alter the fit of the mask e.g. weight loss or gain or substantial dental work. If families refuse to support these actions, discuss with your manager what additional steps could be taken to encourage the family/carers to be more proactive. Fit testing must be carried out by a competent person as described by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). What if I have concerns about fit testing? We understand that patients or their families may not want to have the window open in advance, particularly when the weather is cold. Worry about heating bills may also be a consideration. However, for your safety and also to protect them, it is really important to encourage this and the following of Government guidance for ventilation homes.

See also NHS England and NHS Improvement: Accessing supplies of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Scotland Our publication Removing disabling barriers at work and our online guide on health ability passportscover the benefits of a diverse workforce including those with impairments and the reasonable adjustments process. When considering gloves members should also review if a plastic apron is required. Aprons should not be worn routinely and only if required. Where risk assessments require staff to wear FFP3 masks, all staff must have passed a face fit test for the mask being worn. Further information Where there is a change in PPE requirements such as in response to a pandemic, new issues can arisefor health care professionals who have not previously been disabled at work. It is essential that processes allow theopportunity for employees to discuss their specific needs regarding PPE and that theyare supported by managers in this process.Next, draw an inch-wide seam allowance around the outline you just drew. Remove the template and set it aside. FFP3 face masks provide a higher level of respiratory protection than surgical face masks. Their effectiveness is dependent on the wearer undergoing a ‘fit’ test, to ensure a protective seal can be achieved. The Health and Safety Executive also provides guidance for employers and employees on reasonable adjustments. Raising concerns Our guidance on skin health is here along withour publication on maintaining skin health when using PPE. Raising concerns Grab a marker or tailor's chalk and mark the measurements for your apron on the fabric (25" x 4" x 9"). Cut the fabric accordingly, and you will have your template.

Current Resuscitation Council UK (RCUK)Resuscitation Guidelines(2021) maintains early CPR and defibrillation give people the best chance of survival in any setting. RCUK have also published guidance on COVID-19.The advice states that for those working in health care settings, the use of FFP3 masks or respirators as well as eye protection, is still recommended when performing chest compressions for patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19. Aerosol generating procedures PPE, in particular FFP3 mask/respirator and eye protection, should be donned as swiftly as possible to avoid any delays in treatment. Your employer should work with you to ensure that any risk of PPE affecting your impairment and ability to continue in your role is recognised and processes put in place to mitigate the risk. This may mean adjusting processes around donning and doffing of PPE, exploring options for adapted PPE and/or opportunities to fit PPE, and be confident that it is fit for purpose prior to use in a clinical setting. The RCN expects all health and social care organisations to have and to follow their policies on the management of latex allergy in staff and patients. Place your fabric template over the left side of the main fabric and draw a mirroring outline and seam allowance on the left-hand side.Where no safer alternatives are available and the risk of exposure to a biohazard exists, then a COSHH risk assessment will inform whether the use of PPE containing NRL is acceptable for use by staff without NRL allergy. Incident reporting

There are two fit test methods, qualitative and quantitative. HSE’s guidance requires a fit test report/certificate to be made available to the employee to include the date, method and make and model of mask they have been fit tested for. The RCN also recognise that certain health conditions will make it more difficult to tolerate wearing PPE. Employers should assess any risks to these individuals and make necessary adjustments under both health and safety and equality law. See ‘PPE for staff with disabilities or impairments’ above. You can also see our Health ability passport guidance. Further information

Open the fabric with the right side still facing down. You should see the outline and seam allowance you made on the right-hand side of the material. For information on how to reduce the risk of heat stress and related illness, please see Rest, Rehydrate and Refuel. HSE have also produced a heat stress risk assessment toolkit for employers Safer alternatives or latex free products should be used and staff and patients with known latex allergy should never be exposed to NRL containing products. Powdered NRL gloves should never be used. Any allergic type reactions to PPE, including skin rashes, should be reported using the organisations incident reporting form and through the yellow card reporting system to the MHRA. For those experiencing symptoms due to menopause, this can sometimes add to the burden of working in intensive areas of practice.

Your manager or organisation should send out a communication to all patients and their families explaining why this is important and encourage them to look at government advice. raise awareness amongst staff of the signs of dehydration and heat stress and measures that can be taken to reduce the risk Symptoms can be compounded when having to wear PPE, especially for long periods of time, and it is important that staff are supported to enable them to cope in these challenging times. The RCN expects that line managers undertake a workplace risk assessment and refer to Occupational Health for further advice if appropriate. Where adjustments cannot be made, temporary redeployment to work that does not require PPE should be considered. You can also see our COVID-19 workplace risk assessment toolkit. The RCN expects that all employers support their staff to make known their needs in respect of PPE.

Guidance for adult social careis also available Some of the patients I visit refuse to have the window open where I am working to increase ventilation. What should I do? For some, PPE is a disabling barrier, for example, employees who communicate well through the ability to lip read will have this communication route disrupted if colleagues are wearing face masks.
