SCRIPT

R1: (voiceover) From the campus of West Visayas State University, this is WEST V Patrol!

*sound effects*

R1: Good day, Taga-West! Standing in front of you is Nicole Macaraeg, your reporter for today.
As the academic year 2023 to 2024 kicks off, the West Visayas State University opens its doors
to welcome the incoming first year students as they step in this institution ready to gain inspiring
lessons, new friendships, and countless opportunities to shine. In line with this, the orientation
for the laboratory classes of the freshies in the medical related programs has officially started.
This includes the laboratory rules and guidelines. One of these is the mandatory wearing of
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in laboratories. You can expect to see these students
wearing PPE when you visit laboratories.

Personal protective equipment, commonly referred to as "PPE", is an equipment worn to

minimize exposure to hazards that cause serious workplace injuries and illnesses. It is the last
line of defense of workers from hazards that cannot be eliminated or controlled by other means.
It acts as a barrier between the worker and any dangerous chemicals, substances, and
pathogens with which that person might come into contact. Laboratory PPE’s are usually
composed of face mask, eye protection, lab gown, and gloves.

For further details of the said news, let's have Kasandra Cristy Galon. Kasandra?

R2: Yes, Nicole. Proper regulatory protocols and procedures have been set up as guides for
users in order to assure their utmost safety at all times in the laboratory and as additional
protection especially when dealing with materials that are infectious and harmful.

As students, it is only fair and appropriate to know and exercise these practices as observing
obedient behavior will shape our future as responsible citizens, particularly “health workers” in
this line of field, not just for the betterment of our fellows but also ourselves.

And so let us familiarize ourselves with the correct way of donning PPE. Here’s Mary Antonette
Gabor to execute for us:

*model presenting the steps*

(1) First and foremost, make sure that your hands are well disinfected to maintain proper
hygiene and prevent the risk of contamination.
(2) Next, use appropriate lab gown as a cover up for this will shield your skin and clothing
from unprecedented contact from spills or splashes of hazardous materials.
(3) After that, make sure that the gown fully wraps your and your team members’ torsos
from neck to knees, arms to wrists and all the way around the back. This is to double check and
make sure that everyone involved is safe in the process.
(4) Following this is the donning of a mask or respiratory protection. Assure that:
(a) It must be tied firmly around the ears or the back of the head,
(b) It must be well-suited to the nose bridge by adjusting the flexible band, and
(c) It must be comfortably fit around the face and down the chin.
(5) Next, put on protective goggles or a face shield. Ensure that it completely covers the
eyes and is placed securely on the face. This is the primary defense of the user’s eyes against
chemicals, impacts, and dust.
(6) Finally, put on protective gloves and stretch it over the wrist or gown worn. Guarantee that
it has no tear and is well-sealed to establish safety of the skin from contact with harmful
substances and exposure to chemicals that might cause burns and infection.

With this, the user is now ready to work safely and responsibly.

This is Kasandra Cristy Galon, reporting.

For the doffing of PPE, we have Nicole to report. Kindly tell us more, Nicole.

R1: Thank you, Kasandra. Moving onto the next news.

After a thorough work in the lab, it is now time to take of the PPEs, showing to you is the proper
execution of the “Doffing’’

Doffing or taking off PPE is just as critical of a step at preventing the spread of infectious
disease. Proper doffing can prevent cross-contamination of clean areas and stop pathogens
from inadvertently leaving the area.

(1) The first thing to do is to remove the gloves. If gloves are removed first, hands must only
touch uncontaminated surfaces of the gown, typically behind the neck (ties) and at the back of
the shoulders. Gloves can be removed using more than one technique (e.g., glove-in-glove or
bird beak).
(2) Next, remove the gown. Untie all ties (or unsnap all buttons). Do so in a gentle manner,
avoiding a forceful movement. Reach up to the shoulders and carefully pull the gown down and
away from the body. This is difficult to do, however, without contaminating the hands. The
preferred method for doffing a disposable gown and gloves is, therefore, to break the ties at the
neck by pulling on the upper front portion of the gown with the hands still gloved, balling or
rolling in the contaminated surfaces, and pulling the gloves off inside-out as the hands are
withdrawn from the gown’s sleeves.
(3) After that, remove the face shield or goggles. Carefully remove face shield or goggles by
grabbing the strap and pulling upwards and away from head. Do not touch the front of the face
shield or goggles.
(4) Following this is the removal of the face mask. Carefully untie (or unhook from the ears)
and pull away from face without touching the front.
(5) Finally, perform hand hygiene after removing the respirator/face mask and before putting it
on again if your workplace is practicing reuse.

*transition*

R2: As there are various forms of PPE’s, there are other fields that need the use of them, aside
from the laboratory, such as mining and construction sites. It is, however, commonly seen in
health care settings such as hospitals and clinical labs. It is important to find the type of
personal protective equipment that is right for your needs.

R1: Ultimately, Personal Protective Equipment PPE is important because it:

1. provides protection from several hazardous factors.

2. reduces the exposure to Biological, Chemical, Radiological, Electrical, and Mechanical

hazards that may result in accidents, injury, and illnesses.

3. minimizes the spread of diseases in a health care setting through the common transmissions:

● Person to person contact

● Droplet spread
● Airborne transmission
 ● Contaminated objects

4. encourages a more efficient and productive workplace by reducing the risks in the workplace.
