1C Use PPE and ensure it is effective to prevent the spread of infection
The correct use of personal protective equipment (PPE), while not dealing with an infection hazard directly, can reduce the risk that infection will spread. Wearing appropriate personal protective clothing and equipment that complies with standards and changing protective clothing daily, when it is soiled and after client contact, will help protect yourself and the people you are supporting. It is important that you use the PPE correctly.
