Description:
Healthcare workers (HCWs) are at increased risk of exposure to a variety of respiratory hazards including transmissible respiratory diseases. One element of protecting HCWs against infectious respiratory hazards is the effective use of specific items of personal protective equipment (PPE). Surgical face masks and respirator masks are the most commonly used types of PPE in this context.Corporate name:
