Accessing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Proper Use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Businesses resuming operations as part of the Re-Open Saskatchewan Plan may be required to use Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) in order to protect themselves and their clients/customers and help prevent the spread of COVID-19.

If an employer conducts a hazard assessment and determines that PPE is required to protect the health and safety of the workers in the workplace or if the Re-Open Plan guidelines indicate that PPE must be used, then the employer needs to supply approved PPE.

Please refer to the following publications for more information:

• Guidelines for the use of PPE
• Information on Droplet PPE

Pandemic Suppliers

In an effort to help Saskatchewan businesses source the PPE they need, the Government of Saskatchewan has compiled lists of pandemic suppliers.

Please note – these lists of pandemic suppliers are not exhaustive and the Government of Saskatchewan does not endorse nor certify any of these companies. Businesses are responsible for conducting their own due diligence should they choose to utilize any of these pandemic suppliers.

• Saskatchewan Producers Approved by Health Canada to Manufacture Hand Sanitizers
