Guidance on Personal Protective Equipment

Put on the single use (disposable) PAPR hood that that fully covers the neck and extends over the shoulders. Be sure that the hood covers the head and all of the hair, neck, and ears, and that it extends past the neck to the shoulders. Depending on the type of PAPR unit, the outer apron may need to be put on first.
