BEIS launches new personal protective equipment (PPE) hub

THE Department for Business Energy and Industrial Strategy has launched a new hub containing guidance on personal protective equipment (PPE), and infection prevention and control (IPC) which is now available, containing information for both health and social care settings and other workers and sectors.

The hub also links to the Cross-government UK-wide PPE plan to ensure that critical PPE is delivered to those on the frontline.

This includes a new ‘Make’ strategy of encouraging UK manufacturers to produce PPE. We would welcome support from manufacturers who wish to offer their production facilities where they can meet the required specifications for use by the NHS and care sector. New offers can continue to be made via www.gov.uk/coronavirus-support-from-business.
