For an airborne risk you need to wear respirators which seal your the face.

The proposals to revise RIDDOR’s list of occupational diseases omit reference to COVID‑19, airborne infectious diseases, or Long COVID. A significant gap. SARS‑CoV‑2 remains an occupational hazard in health & social care, education, & public‑facing roles.

@zarahsultana.bsky.social please can you ask why after a Covid inquiry nothing has been mentioned yet about changing guidance that is incorrect and leaves us all at risk for any future Pandemic.
@greenpartyhan.bsky.social
Labour are too busy to pay attention to public health.
The covid19 inquiry concluded 5 weeks ago that the guidance was flawed and that sars-cov-2 is airborne.
The guidance is still wrong. This is appalling after a Covid inquiry.

SURGICAL MASKS DO NOT PROTECT
So encouraging to see the sheer strength of feeling amongst so many highly-respected scientists & medical practitioners from across the world making representations to WHO

79% of recent Covid-19 infections in Wales were hospital acquired.

This RIDDOR consultation to revise disease reporting appears to make no mention of COVID‑19, airborne transmission, or Long COVID? That silence matters. Workers still face exposure risks, but is the system meant to record them keeping pace with reality?

This was entirely foreseeable once HCWs realised that, a few weeks earlier, (13/3/20) they'd been deceived into believing FRSMs would keep them safe while delivering close-quarter care to infectious patients.
HSE, to their eternal shame, stood by like toothless tigers and just let this happen.

The knew it was airborne from day 1.
We need these for Ebola because the virus can be aerosolised and still each day are photos of medical staff sadly wearing FRSM masks. 🧵
