            When to wear a mask?

            November 25, 2020

            Despite South Australia entering one of the strictest lockdowns in the world last week there has been some confusion about the advice around when to wear a face mask.

            For the most up to date coronavirus restrictions or guidelines in South Australia, head to the SA Health website. 

            SA Health has issued advice in relation to face masks, recommending a mask be worn when out in public, if you are unable to physically distance.

            This includes in instances such as shopping, on public transport and in hospitals, health settings or aged care facilities.

            This is because face masks can be an additional physical barrier to assist in stopping the spread of COVID-191.

            Aside from wearing a face mask, other measures to protect yourself and others include; getting tested if you have any symptoms, practising physical distancing, washing your hands regularly, wiping down frequently touched surfaces, covering coughs and sneezes with an elbow or tissue and staying home and avoiding others when sick.

            We recently collaborated with SA Health to provide an instructional video on how to safely put on and take off a face mask.

            Is Your PPE Adequate? Protecting Workers from Airborne Contaminants in the Workplace

            Healthcare & Medical, Government Department, Industries - Detmold Medical, Government Department , Healthcare & Medical

            Employers have a legal duty under WHS legislation to eliminate or minimise risks, such as airborne hazards. Within the hierarchy of controls, personal protective equipment (PPE) and respiratory protective equipment (RPE) are often used as a last resort to protect workers from inhaling harmful airborne particles. With this in mind, it’s essential to ensure that the PPE you select provides adequate protection against the hazards and risks you’ve identified through a thorough risk assessment.

            Psychosocial Risk in High-Stress Care Environments

            High-stress environments such as ICU wards, aged care facilities, and emergency departments demand more than just clinical capability. They require robust personal protective equipment (PPE) systems that safeguard both physical and psychosocial well-being. In these settings, PPE is not merely a physical barrier against harm; it also plays a critical role in protecting workers from psychosocial risk.

            Face masks and respiratory protective equipment (RPE) are critical in protecting healthcare workers, safety officers, and the wider community. During the COVID-19 pandemic, they became an essential tool in reducing the spread of infection. Their importance has continued well beyond the peak of the pandemic as face masks remain a common precaution on public transport, during flu season, and in other high-risk environments, reinforcing their place in everyday health and safety practices.
