Description

OSHA's PPE Selection Matrix for Occupational Exposure to Ebola Virus provides task-based guidance to help employers select appropriate PPE for workers who may be exposed to ebolavirus. The matrix covers examples of common exposures, ranging from casual interaction with individuals with risk factors for EVD, such as in airport screening operations; medical and supportive care to patients with suspected or confirmed EVD in hospital settings; and maintenance and waste handling tasks where ebolavirus contamination may be present. In addition, employers should ensure workers follow effective hand hygiene practices.
