Partnership Opportunity to Identify Products for Fentanyl Exposure in Personal Protective Equipment Information Database

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention solicited manufacturers to participate in PPE-Info database evolution to have their products identified for fentanyl exposure listed in the PPE-Info database.

PPE-Info is a collection of national personal protective equipment (PPE) information. The database provides standards developers, manufacturers, suppliers, purchasers, and end users of PPE with the ability to conduct general- or advanced-criteria searches of (1) relevant standards, (2) associated product types, (3) target occupational groups, (4) basic conformity assessment specifications, and (5) an abundance of additional pertinent information. PPE-Info is the only private or public U.S. database that compiles, tracks, and updates comprehensive information about national PPE standards and select product information. Using this collection of information, PPE-Info currently offers the following capabilities:

• Identification of PPE standards, searchable by PPE type, hazard category, Standards Development Organization, Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) code, standard type, and standard status, with basic- and advanced-search functions;
• A PPE-Selection Logic Tool for potential Ebola exposure;
• Identification of 3rd party testing laboratories whose scope of accreditation includes testing to the identified standard.
