PostHeaderIcon Respirator or Surgical Mask Confusion or Why Healthcare Providers Need Occupational Health Training

A surgical mask is not a respirator and that’s an important distinction for physicians and all healthcare workers to understand. Unfortunately many healthcare employers and Infection Preventionist do not understand this important fact. Several reports from the US Institute of Medicine (IOM) over the past few years have address this and related issues. For the details of this debate, go to the 2009 IOM report at http://www.iom.edu/~/media/Files/Report%20Files/2009/RespProtH1N1/H1N1%20report%20brief%20FINAL%20for%20web.ashx . It is important that healthcare employers and workers understand the significant differences between these two types of personal protective equipment. The decision whether or not to require workers to use either surgical masks or respirators must be based upon a hazard analysis of the workers’ specific work environments and the different protective properties of each type of personal protective equipment. Respirators are designed to reduce a worker’s exposure to airborne contaminants. Respirators come in various sizes and must be individually selected to fit the wearer’s face and to provide a tight seal. A proper seal between the user’s face and the respirator forces inhaled air to be pulled through the respirator’s filter material and not through gaps between the face and respirator. Surgical masks are used as a physical barrier to protect the user from hazards, such as splashes of large droplets of blood or body fluids. Surgical masks also protect other people against infection from the person wearing the surgical mask. Such masks trap large particles of body fluids that may contain bacteria or viruses expelled by the wearer. Surgical masks are not designed or certified to prevent the inhalation of small airborne contaminants. An OSHA video describing the differences is found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovSLAuY8ib8 . All workers have a right to a safe and healthful workplace. Whenever respiratory protection is required to be worn to protect from hazardous airborne contaminants, the employer is responsible for implementing a comprehensive respiratory protection program and providing an appropriate respirator, in accordance with OSHAs respiratory protection standard, 29 CFR 1910.134. This program must include training, medical evaluation, and fit testing. When workers must wear a respirator to protect against airborne contaminants in the workplace, it is very important to follow proper procedures for putting it on and taking it off. For more on this important issues for healthcare, go to the OSHA factsheet, Respiratory Infection Control:Respirators Versus Surgical Masks at https://www.osha.gov/Publications/respirators-vs-surgicalmasks-factsheet.html .
