[Drand] Teaching assistats: Mouth protection

[Fredrik Hellberg]

To Teaching assistants involved in student labs:

Hi,

There are new recommendation concerning the use of protective masks in 
students labs at Fysikum. Most important is still to keep the distance 
between the students and the TA. The students work individually or 
maximum in pairs. Keeping the distance should always be possible, but 
mouth protection can be a complement in situation where it is difficult 
to always keep the distance. Therefore there are protection masks 
available in both student labs in House 1 and in G2:0015 in the optics 
labs at Albanova. Remember it is not compulsory to wear them, but anyone 
working in the lab is free to use them. If you or any student use them 
it is important to follow the instructions (see below).

If you run out of masks, please contact Petra Björk 
<petra.bjork at fysik.su.se> (works with laboratory safety she has a stock 
of masks), me or Andreas Rydh (responsible for student labs).

Keep up the good work!

Best regards,

Fredrik


Instruction: use of face mask

The face masks handed out by Fysikum are ‘Disposable Mask, Type IIR’. 
The masks are a single use device and must not be re-used.

1. Wash your hands with soap and water, alternatively use hand 
sanitizer, before handling the mask.

2. The mask must be used correctly. The colored side outwards, the white 
side inwards. Attach the bands behind the ears. Adjust the metal wire to 
the shape of the nose. Stretch the mask to cover the nose, mouth and chin.

3. Remove the mask by pulling on the bands, do not touch the mask itself.

4. Immediately dispose the used mask in designated plastic bags, by 
threading the bag over the mask, without touching the mask itself with 
your hands. Tie the bag together and throw the bag in an ordinary waste 
bin. Used masks must not be placed on any surfaces (tables, benches etc).

5. Wash your hands with soap and water, alternatively use hand 
sanitizer, after handling the used mask.
