Overview:
This is a one-hour recording of a webinar held on July 30, 2020.
This webinar is co-sponsored by the Alabama Fire College Workplace Safety Training Program and the Deep South Biosafety Worker Training Program.
This webinar will discuss Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) applicable to the COVID 19 crisis. It is assumed that students are aware of standard PPE certification/requirements ( e.g. the US Department of Labor: OSHA standards for both personal and respiratory protection ). This webinar will focus on how to adapt these to the current situation, as well as crisis standards applicable when PPE may be limited/unavailable.
