PPE Use in Healthcare Settings I: Donning01:22

PPE Use in Healthcare Settings I: Donning

1.8K
Donning PPE must be completed before contact with the patient. This process protects from infectious agents. The sequence and action included in each donning are critical, and the steps must be systematic to avoid exposure to pathogens. The institutional policy also needs to be followed while donning PPE. The pre-donning preparations are gathering equipment, inspecting the PPE equipment for tears, holes, or damage, removing jewelry, removing any garments below the elbows, and tying the hair...

Personal Protective Equipment01:20

Personal Protective Equipment

2.4K
Personal protective equipment (PPE) is unique clothing or equipment worn by an employee to minimize or prevent exposure to infectious agents. PPE creates a barrier between the employee and the infectious materials. PPE must be readily available in the patient care area. PPE includes gloves, gowns and aprons, masks and respirators, goggles, face shields, shoes, and headcovers:

PPE Use in Healthcare Settings II: Doffing

1.7K
The sequence of removing or doffing PPE starts with the gloves, as they are the most contaminated. Next is removal of the face shield or goggles, as they would interfere with removing other PPE. Then remove the gown, followed by the mask or respirator. Perform hand hygiene between steps if hands become contaminated and immediately after removing all PPE. Generally, the outside front and sleeves of the isolation gown, the goggles or the mask, the respirator, and the face shield are contaminated.

Survey Safety01:28

Survey Safety

428
Surveying near highways, rough terrain, or power lines involves significant risks. Working along highways is particularly dangerous and requires the use of warning signs and flagmen. It is safest to avoid working directly on roads and use offsets whenever possible. When highway work is unavoidable, it must follow all safety guidelines. Surveyors should wear bright clothing, such as orange reflective vests, to ensure visibility to motorists, coworkers, and hunters. In construction zones, wearing...

Methods of Documentation IV: Focus Charting

1.8K
Focus Charting, also known as the focus charting system or "focus documentation," is a systematic documentation approach used in healthcare to organize patient information in medical records.
It typically involves three columns for recording information:

Types of Reports II: Incident or Occurrence Report

1.3K
An Incident or Occurrence Report in a healthcare setting is a crucial document used to record any unexpected occurrence that may or may not have affected a patient, employee, or visitor. Such reports are critical to improving patient safety and include all details leading up to and including the event.
Purposes:
In the healthcare industry, reports play a crucial role in documenting incidents within an agency. The primary objective of these reports is to ensure patient safety, uphold the...

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Safety and Health
  • Construction Safety
  • Injury Prevention Research

Background:

  • The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) investigates work-related fatalities through its Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (FACE) program.
  • Since 1982, FACE reports have provided critical data on occupational incidents.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To create and utilize the Construction FACE Database (CFD) for quantitative analysis of construction-related fatalities.
  • To identify key variables and trends in construction worker deaths to inform prevention strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Information from construction-related FACE reports was coded into the CFD.
  • Analysis of major CFD variables, including decedent demographics, safety training, personal protective equipment (PPE) use, and FACE recommendations.

Main Results:

  • The CFD includes 768 construction fatalities.
  • One in five decedents died within their first two months on the job.
  • 75% of reports recommended safety training, and 43% recommended installing protection equipment.

Conclusions:

  • Comprehensive research using FACE reports enhances understanding of work-related fatalities.
  • The CFD provides an efficient tool for quantitative analysis, crucial for developing effective injury prevention measures in construction.
