Marketing Spotlight: The PPE Handbook for Healthcare Facilities

Too often healthcare organizations find themselves unprepared for a hazardous situation or patient. It is in these tense moments that proper PPE training is put to use in order to protect staff and patients while minimizing risk. The only way to ensure your staff is ready for such a situation is through awareness and training on an organization-wide level. The PPE Handbook for Healthcare Facilities, sold in packs of five, is the perfect tool to give staff the knowledge and know-how of proper PPE usage.
