SETTLEMENT WORKERS NEED TO HAVE BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM TO SUPPORT IMMIGRANTS AND REFUGEES AND CONNECT THEM WITH THE APPROPRIATE SERVICES.

PPE Information for Non-Healthcare Community Settings

Resources developed by the City of Toronto, Province of Ontario, and Government of Canada that provide information on when PPE is and is not required and how services can be redesigned to protect the health and safety of staff, volunteers and clients and reduce the need for PPE are attached.

The use of PPE should be based on organizational Occupational Health and Safety protocols and on a risk assessment that considers the risk of a specific activity and the source of the infection.
