    What This Equipment Is Used For

    PPE is used to create a barrier between the responder and potential hazards encountered during patient care. This includes protection against bloodborne pathogens, bodily fluids, and environmental contaminants.

    Proper use of PPE supports safer patient care by reducing the risk of cross-contamination and protecting responders during assessment, treatment, and cleanup. PPE forms a fundamental part of safe medical practice in both emergency and routine care settings.

    Who This Equipment Is For

    Personal protective equipment is used by paramedics, emergency responders, first aiders, healthcare workers, and organisations responsible for medical safety.

    It is commonly used in ambulances, workplaces, training environments, first aid rooms, and field operations. If your role involves providing medical care or first aid, PPE is essential for protecting both the responder and the patient.

    What to Look For

    Selecting appropriate PPE depends on the type of exposure risk and the environment in which it will be used.

    • Level of protection: Suitable for the expected exposure to fluids or contaminants.
    • Fit and comfort: Allows effective use without restricting movement.
    • Ease of use: Simple to don and remove correctly.
    • Durability: Appropriate for the task and duration of use.
    • Compliance: Meets relevant medical or safety standards where applicable.

    Effective PPE should protect the user while allowing them to perform medical tasks safely and efficiently.

    Common Mistakes We See

    A common mistake is using inadequate or inappropriate PPE for the level of exposure risk, leaving responders unprotected.

    We also see PPE used incorrectly, such as poor fit or improper removal, which can increase contamination risk. Another issue is failing to replace or restock PPE after use, leading to shortages during critical moments.

    PPE should be selected, used, and maintained as part of standard infection control practices.
