To reduce the risk of transmission of infectious agents, PPE must be used appropriately. The following poster outlines sequences and procedures for putting on and removing PPE. Please refer to the Australian Guidelines for the Prevention and Control of Infection in Healthcare for further information on the use of PPE for infection prevention and control.

The Australian Guidelines for the Prevention and Control of Infection in Health Care provide evidence-based recommendations about the critical aspects of infection prevention and control, focusing on core principles and priority areas for action.
