Yet again we see a child left in a vehicle in the heat in Queensland! Below is a graph showing how the temperature can climb inside a vehicle.

@brialoga @ABCaustralia This level of turning a blind eye is hard to stomach

Just Ask Three
If you are providing or being provided a respirator, ask these three questions:
1. Is it a certified N95/P2 respirator?
2. Has there been a face fit done?
3. Was training on its use provided?
Answering no to any of these, means you may not be adequately protected!

So you’re an Occupational Hygienist……..What’s that? We need an “elevator speech” - short 20 to 30 second clear and simple commentary on who we are. Email [email protected] by 26 March with your suggestions! #aioh #occupationalhealthandsafety #branding #newideas

@Pete_Aspi77 Wish I could have done them that quick back in my days at the smelter.

@kate_cole_ @rajah_mich @fifteenforty @Alienlocale @venessb @drajm @GongGasGirl @NeelaJan @snouzin @AIOH_Inc Powerful stories, how can a workplace deteriorate to such a condition and still no one has stepped in and said enough. Airborne contaminant with a potential fatality risk and inadequate critical control. Show me a risk assessment that doesn’t define this as an unacceptable risk

[Ross Di Corleto @thermalenv]

@kate_cole_ @MaryannCTurner And many actually have tertiary qualifications specifically in this field.

@Pete_Aspi77 @AIOH_Inc “Healthcare worksites the final frontier, to boldly go where few occ hygienist have gone before.”
Yes it is time we made our skills better known to assist our colleagues in this workplace.

[Ross Di Corleto @thermalenv]

To the “experts” providing the advice that N95/P2 are not necessary for frontline HCW. Can you provide the logical scientific based assessment that led to this outcome. I am always interested in learning something radically new or please review your advice.

AIOH Supports the Australian Society of Anaesthetists in their efforts for a safer workplace with their call for better protections and assurances across all Victorian hospitals to protect health care workers. #healthandsafety #covid

Some interesting info relating to managing heat stress during COVID-19 in health care scenarios. May not be an issue yet in Australia but warmer weather is coming. Let's be prepared.
