Open gown and place one of your arms in each of the arms of the gown. The opening of the gown should face to the back and be tied securely. Gloves are then put on with the cuffs of the gloves covering the elastic cuff of the gown. 2. To remove the gown without contamination, have someone untie the gown. With your gloves still on grasp the gown at the shoulder and pull it off, handling the gown by its outside surface. Gently fold the gown with the inside of the gown facing outward and place the gown in the BIOHAZARD receptacle using the foot control to raise the lid. Remove the gloves in the prescribed manner and wash your hands. 1. May become soaked through if large amount of bleeding is present. (This would be VERY RARE in the Ophthalmology Office) 2. The gown might become torn. Care, Maintenance, Useful Life, and Disposal 1. Gowns are single use items. They are generally unsuitable for cleaning, etc. 2. Contaminated gowns should be disposed of by placing them in a BIOHAZARD receptacle at the location at which they are used.

Otherwise it should be placed in a RED BAG or in a plastic bag with the BIOHAZARD logo. 3. With proper care a lab coat will give several years of service When Needed: PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT PLAN Information Sheet - GLASSES WITH SIDE SHIELDS: GOGGLES PPE Form #5 1. When pouring chemicals from stock container to examination room containers; Diluting stock solutions for use; goggles when handling formaldehyde or other corrosives. 2. When blood, body fluids or other potentially infectious materials (OPIM) might reasonably be anticipated to splash, spray or splatter into the eye(s) while working with patients with open wounds or visible contamination of tears with blood, assisting at minor surgery, cleaning contaminated instruments, or during clean-up procedures of blood or OPIM. UCH - Ophthalmology, Cordova Office Page 10 of 12

11 How To Wear: Limitations: 1. Remove the glasses from their protective case. Open the temples and, using both hands, one on each temple, slide the temples over the ears, allowing the bridge of the glasses to rest on the bridge of the nose. The glasses MUST fit close to your face in order to protect you as they were designed to. Most glasses designed for this task will fit over existing eye wear. To remove reverse the above procedure. Remove after removal of gloves and gown and after washing your hands. Goggles are placed over the eyes and secured with the elastic strap. 1. Liquid materials may spill over the top of the glasses. If corrosive materials are handled, goggles would be a better choice. 2. Glasses may slip down exposing the eye(s) to splash hazards. Always keep them adjusted closely to your face. Care, Maintenance, Useful Life, and Disposal: 1. Glasses should be cleaned as needed for good vision. If they become scratched, they should be replaced. 2. Decontamination with 1:10 Clorox and rinsing in water should be carried out if contamination has occurred. 3. Glasses are decontaminated and returned to their proper place in the office for later PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT PLAN Information Sheet - MASKS: PPE Form #6 When To Wear: 1. When it is reasonably anticipated that there will be sprays or aerosols of blood or other potentially infected materials present in the work environment. This RARELY would be anticipated in the Ophthalmology Office. 2. Always wear when glasses are worn if blood splashes, sprays, or splatters are reasonably expected. How To Wear: 1. Remove mask from its container. Tie both sets of strings or the place the UCH - Ophthalmology, Cordova Office Page 11 of 12

12 elastic band around your head. Make sure your MOUTH and NOSE are BOTH covered. Bending the metal strip found in many masks to match the contour across the bridge of the nose assures a tighter fit and less fogging of eye wear. Limitations: 1. Mask may become soaked with blood or other bodily fluids. 2. Mask may slip from its proper position it not tied securely. Care, Maintenance, Useful Life, and Disposal: 1. Masks are single use items. They are not intended to be cleaned or decontaminated for reuse. 2. Masks should be disposed of in the BIOHAZARD receptacle if contaminated with blood or OPIM. Otherwise they can be placed in the regular trash. UCH - Ophthalmology, Cordova Office Page 12 of 12
