How can you minimize your chances of becoming sick?

Maintain good personal hygiene habits while avoiding contact with those around you who display symptoms of illness. If you are placed in a situation where you are in close proximity to someone who is probably ill then try to put some distance between yourselves and wash the points of contact such as hands or face as soon as is practical.

If you have a “Personal Protection G0-Kit” and you cannot avoid close contact, then before coming in close contact with that person(s) put on a mask 1 and gloves 2 if necessary. Immediately after close contact carefully remove gloves and mask making sure that you do not touch any body parts or clothing with the potentially contaminated gloves, mask or your bare hands. Immediately wash your hands with soap & warm water or the waterless hand wash 3 contained in the “Personal Protection G0-Kit”

 
1 Mask: A NIOSH N95 certified product, capable of filtering out particles less than 0.1 microns in size. >99 % bacterial filtration efficient (BFE) if worn properly. Mask must be fitted snugly over nose and mouth so air passes through it, not around edges. Use by potentially contaminated individuals may help prevent spread of airborne microorganisms that could infect others. Wearing mask in proximity of a potentially infected person provides some level of protection from airborne microorganisms.
Caution: Facial hair such as mustache or beard will render mask ineffective against bacterial infection.

 
2 Pair of Gloves: Wearing gloves allows you to touch contaminated people and objects without direct exposure yourself. Do not touch your skin after use, particularly near body orifices such as mouth, eyes and nose while wearing and during removal. Gloves are 100% latex free, manufactured with a specially engineered synthetic material (PVC) to minimize risk of sensitization and Type 1 allergic reactions to NRL.
Caution: Keep gloves away from babies and small children to eliminate risk of asphyxiation (choking)

 
3 Waterless Hand Wash : Kills germs without water or towels. Effective antibacterial that can reduce the risk of cross contamination. Apply to hands; rub briskly until dry. Leaves no oily or greasy residue on the skin.
