Answer 2

Option e) Use PPE in all outdoor setting

Use PPE in all outdoor setting  is not true for IPC measure at triage centres.

• PPE is gear that employees use to reduce exposure to particular hazards. PPE examples include head, eye, and foot protection as well as respirators, gloves, aprons, fall protection, and complete body suits.
• A comprehensive hazard control programme would include a number of measures to ensure a safe and healthy environment, with the usage of PPE being just one of them. PPE neither eliminates the risk itself nor ensures complete or ongoing safety.
• PPE is used to minimise or reduce exposure to harmful physical, chemical, ergonomic, or biological agents during contact or exposure. Remember that using PPE does not make a hazard "go away," but it may lower the chance of injury.
• For instance, when the ear plugs or muffs are appropriate for the type of noise exposure and when the PPE is worn properly, wearing hearing protection lowers the probability of hearing impairment. But wearing hearing protection does not make the sounds go away.
