Myth: 'Low Exposure = No Risk' ❌ Many public safety professionals believe minimal exposure to toxins is harmless. But even small doses over time can be a ticking time bomb for cancer. Protect your health by recognizing all exposures matter. Here are 3 ways to minimize your exposure at any level: Proper Use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Always wear appropriate PPE, such as gloves, masks, goggles, and protective clothing, when handling hazardous materials or in environments with potential toxins. Ensure PPE is correctly fitted and in good condition to provide maximum protection. Practice Effective Decontamination Procedures: Develop and follow thorough decontamination protocols after exposure to hazardous materials. This includes promptly removing contaminated clothing, washing exposed skin with soap and water, and using specialized decontamination wipes or solutions as necessary. Regular Health Screenings and Monitoring (💡We can help with this!): Schedule regular health screenings, including screenings specific to occupational exposures, such as skin checks for dermatological issues and screenings for respiratory conditions. Early detection can significantly improve treatment outcomes. #FirstResponderHealth #CancerPrevention

How well do you know the 'Contaminant Related Selection Factors' that should be considered when choosing the correct respiratory protective equipment (RPE)? According to the AS/NZS1715:2009 standards, the following contaminant-related factors shall be considered as part of the RPE selection process: 🔹The nature, toxicity, physical form, and concentration of each contaminant 🔹Whether failure of the device can result in a situation that is immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH) 🔹The need to wear other PPE, e.g. eye or skin protection to protect against irritants 🔹The possibility of the contaminated atmosphere being flammable/explosive Photo: Dräger SCBA respiratory protection designed for an IDLH environment.

In those situations, use as many prevention strategies as you can, such as practicing hand hygiene, consistently and correctly wearing a high-quality mask, improving ventilation, and keeping your distance, when possible, from the person who is sick or who tested positive. #medicine #zodiacpharma #coronavirus #prevention
