A: That depends on the type of facility you are operating. Facility operators<br />
in hospitals, nursing homes and health clinics should wear the same PPE<br />
that clinicians are using when entering treatment areas. For those working<br />
in typical commercial buildings, the protocol is to keep six feet of distance<br />
between yourself and anyone else you encounter. But when it comes to<br />
changing air filters or servicing ventilation equipment, at a minimum an N95<br />
facemask should be used. It is also advisable to wear a bandana to cover<br />
your hair. Keep in mind that facial hair may compromise the effectiveness of<br />
any type of face mask. Immediately upon completion of work on ventilation<br />
equipment, wash your face and hands and change clothes. If possible, take<br />
a shower and thoroughly cleanse your hair.<br />
A: Yes. Tests confirm that the COVID-19 virus can remain active in<br />
human feces. This means working on waste lines, water closets and<br />
in or around ejector pumps should be done while wearing proper<br />
PPE.
