20. Do I need PPE for other tasks?

You must read the Use of PPE and Other Control Measures here. You must read this in conjunction with Guidance and risk assessments on face to face contact and in addition your manager should have prepared guidance/a risk assessment for the particular work that you do. Speak to him/her if you are not aware of this. Remind yourself of the procedure before each visit, there are steps you must take in preparation – including considering whether the visit is necessary, undertaking a risk assessment in advance, and establishing facts about the person or household you are visiting. 

PPE can be obtained from your manager or direct from Park House. Property may have spares – please email property@molevalley.gov.uk.

Please also note that PPE used under these circumstances must be double bagged for 72 hours and stored securely before being disposed of.

If you have any concerns or do not have PPE and are required to use it according to this guidance, please direct them to your Business Manager in the first instance, Executive Head or the HR team.  

Please remember – on occasion PPE can be hard to get hold of therefore stock must be prioritised for those who are required to use it.
