Study Participants

Home healthcare workers are exposed to numerous safety hazards within client homes. A virtual simulation training system has been developed to train home healthcare workers to recognize and remediate these hazards where possible. This paper investigates how well study participants could identify lift, slip, and trip hazards within the client’s home in the virtual simulation training system.

Health And Safety Hazards

Protecting healthcare workers (HCWs) who are in the frontline during the time of the COVID-19 pandemic is paramount. The filtering facepiece respirators (FFRs) or N95 respirator is one of the personal protective equipment (PPE) used to protect HCWs exposed to airborne pathogens in clinical practice or when performing aerosol generating procedures. The FFRs should be able to serve the intended purpose without causing additional health and safety hazards for the HCWs. The following commentary will provide some basic information on selecting correct FFRs and conducting fitness test.
