• Resumen

  • The current outbreak of suspected and confirmed cases by Ebola Virus Disease (EVD)have triggered numerous remarks on the personal protective equipment (PPE) used by the healthcare workers.

    The presence of an unacceptable risk at work should be mediated by technical and legislative measures that make it acceptable, and the PPE should only be used when the risk cannot be avoided or controlled by the appropriate technical means.

    The purpose of this file, is to establish recommendations for the selection of PPE and for the cleaning and decontamination of the exposed areas to probable EVD cases
