Ezikhathini zamuva nje, ochwepheshe bezokwelapha bake baba phambili empini yokulwa ne-Covion-19. Lezi zisebenzi zezokunakekelwa kwempilo ziye zavulelwa leli gciwane nsuku zonke, zizibeka engcupheni yokuthola isifo esibulalayo. Ukuqinisekisa ukuphepha kwalaba basebenzi bezempilo, imishini yokuzivikela (i-PPE) efana nezingubo zokuhlinzwa, amagilavu kanye namaski ebusweni sekuyisidingo.
Enye yezinto ezibalulekile ze-PPE ingubo ehlinzayo. Lezi zigadiso zenzelwe ukuvikela abasebenzi bezempilo ukuthi bachaze uketshezi lomzimba kanye nezinye izinto ezithathelwanayo. Zisetshenziswa ngezinqubo zokuhlinzwa neminye imisebenzi yezokwelapha lapho kunobungozi bokungcola.
Ngemuva kobhubhane lwe-covid-19, isidingo sezimbali ezihlinzayo sikhuphuke kakhulu. Ukuhlangabezana nalesi sicelo, abakhiqizi bezindwangu zezokwelapha baye babeka ukukhiqizwa kwezingubo zokuhlinzwa. Baphinde bathuthukise izinto ezintsha nemiklamo yokuthuthukisa amakhono okuvikela izigqoko.
Enye yezinto ezintsha zakamuva ekwakhiweni okuhlinzayo ukuklanywa kwezindwangu eziphefumulelwe. Ngokwesiko, izembatho zokuhlinza ezenziwe ngezinto ezingaphefumuli ukukhulisa ukuvikelwa. Kodwa-ke, lokhu kungaholela ekungabizekiseni kwabasebenzi bezempilo, ikakhulukazi phakathi nezinqubo ezinde. Ukusetshenziswa kwezindwangu eziphefumulelwe ezikolweni zokuhlinza kusiza ukunciphisa ukwakha nokushisa umswakama, kubenze bakhululeke ngokwengeziwe ukugqoka.
Enye intuthuko ekwakhiweni okuhlinzayo okuhlinzayo ukusetshenziswa kwezingubo zokulwa ne-antimicrobial. Lezi zimbozo zisiza ukuvikela ukukhula nokusakazeka kwamagciwane namanye amagciwane ngaphezulu kwengubo. Lokhu kubaluleke kakhulu ekulweni neCovid-19, njengoba leli gciwane lingasinda lapho zisendaweni yezikhathi ezeluliwe.
Ngaphezu kwalezi zithuthuka ekwakhiweni, abakhiqizi abahlinzayo abahlinzayo nabo bagxile ekuthuthukiseni ukuqina kwemikhiqizo yabo. Lokhu kuholele ekuthuthukisweni kwezingubo zokuhlinzwa ezisebenzisekayo ezingagezwa futhi zifakwe inzalo ngokusetshenziswa okuningi. Lokhu akupheleli nje imfucuza kepha kusiza ukubhekana nokushoda kwe-PPE kwezinye izindawo.
Ngaphandle kwalokhu kwenziwa ngcono, ukulethwa kwezigqoko ezihlinzayo kuye kwahlala kuyinselele kwezinye izingxenye zomhlaba. Lokhu kungenxa yokuphazamiseka ku-Global Supply Chain okubangelwa ubhubhane. Kodwa-ke, kwenziwa imizamo yokubhekana nalolu daba, namanye amazwe atshala imali ekwenziweni kwendawo ye-PPE.
Ekuphetheni, izigqoko zokuhlinzwa ziyingxenye ebalulekile ye-PPE yabasebenzi bezempilo. Ubhubhane lwe-Covid-19 luveze ukubaluleka kwalezi zigameko ekuvikeleni abasebenzi be-frontline kusuka ekuthelelekeni. Ngenkathi kubekhona intuthuko ebalulekile ekwakhiweni okuhlinzayo okuhlinzayo, ukuqinisekisa ukuthi i-PPE eyanele ihlala iyinselele. Kubalulekile ukuthi ohulumeni kanye nomkhakha wangasese basebenze ngokubambisana ukubhekana nalolu daba futhi baqinisekise ukuphepha kwabasebenzi bezempilo ekulweni ne-Covil-19 nezinye izifo ezithathelwanayo.
