PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Another way in which you can control the spread of infection is to use personal
protective equipment or PPE. Personal protective equipment is an inexpensive
yet effective way to impact two different sequences within the chain of
infection. They can prevent transmission through a portal of exit or infection by
blocking portals of entry.
MASKS
Masks, Goggles, Face Shields: used during procedures that are likely to
generate splashes or sprays of blood, body fluids, and secretions

This is a great mask for protection for your overall long-term health. Do your
research to find one that is rated for protection against volatile compounds
not just dust and particles. In order to work properly this mask must have a
proper seal. When purchasing a half face respirator be sure to have a fit test
prior to use while working on clients - this is so important, not only for your
health and the health of clients but for you and your due diligence as a
professional business owner/worker. It is crucial to ensure that the seal is
100% especially with half masks.
Gloves: used whenever there is a potential for contact with blood, body fluids,
mucous membranes, broken skin, or contaminated equipment
