😷 every worker in healthcare settings is to use a respirator, no longer just HCWs

😷 patients are to be given respirators and only given surgical masks if unable to wear a respirator

😷 respirators are to be worn in all areas and at all times unless it’s an area with high air exchange rates

Here are some of the proposed changes to improve workplace safety in healthcare settings:

😷 surgical masks should not be used for respiratory protections

😷 elastomeric respirators are to be put into widespread use & there are several situations where they are the preferred option vs N95

The CSA Z94.4:2024 Selection, use and care of respirators draft standard has been posted for a 60-day public review period.

If this standard is adopted, respirators will be required in health care settings by default. Your feedback can help.
