Donning Face Shields

When donning face shields:
  • Face shields will typically be ‘1 size fits all’.
  • Can be disposable or reusable, depending on the face shields used and the lab-specific policy.
  • Place a face shield over the face and eyes and strap it around the back of the head.
  • Front piece should rest just above eyebrows.
  • Should adequately cover the face from forehead to below chin areas and offer side-of-face protection by coverage.
  • Adjust to fit if adjustable.
