What eye protection to use against Ebola

Secondary to disposable respiratory protection, consideration should also be giving to EYE WEAR - goggles, safety glasses or other fitted eye protection. Ideally they should form a perfect seal around the eyes and preferably non-vented (or optionally indirectly ventilated if non-vented unavailable) to prevent ingress of fluids or particulates (note the following protect against PARTICULATES and/or FLUIDS and are not typically suitable for GASES or VAPORS). Although every effort has been made to ensure accuracy, the reader is encouraged to perform their own due-diligence.

IMPORTANT: PPE effectiveness is solely dependent on HOW WELL THEY FIT. 

It's highly recommended all Personal Protection Equipment be fit-tested with family members, friends or colleagues before full deployment or use to ensure they fit the user safely and securely across a wide range of shapes and sizes for both head and body as needed (facial hair, jewelry or other impediments to secure fit severely reduce the effectiveness of personal protection equipment). For further information visit the OSHA (US) or HSE (UK)

Goggles
The following is a list of suggestions (all items listed below are rated for airborne PARTICULATES but may not fully protect against VAPORS, MISTS and/or GASES - double-check option chosen for open/direct venting [avoid], indirect venting [alternative when 'no vent' unavailable], and/or no vent [preference] so double-check version before purchase);

What face masks to wear to protect against Ebola

PPE (Personal Protection Equipment) MASKS

The following list of items may be useful in mitigating the risks associated with infections and transmission generally not just for the current Ebola concern (equally functional for smog, pollution and other airborne particulates - note these are PARTICULATE filters and not suitable for VAPORS or GASES). Although every effort has been made to ensure accuracy, the reader is encouraged to perform their own due-diligence.

IMPORTANT: PPE effectiveness is solely dependent on HOW WELL THEY FIT. 

It's highly recommended all Personal Protection Equipment be fit-tested with family members, friends or colleagues before full deployment or use to ensure they fit the user safely and securely across a wide range of shapes and sizes for both head and body as needed (facial hair or other impediments to proper fit severely reduce the effectiveness of filtering face piece PPE's).

If you are in the USA*, NIOSH-Certified PPE^[1], "N-95" filtering face pieces should be a minimum requirement.
If you are in the EU*, CE-Certified PPE^[2], "FFP2" filtering face pieces should be a minimum requirement.
If you are in the UK*, BS EN-Certified PPE^[3], "FFP2" ("P2") filtering face piece should be a minimum requirement.

In all cases Surgical Face Masks (look like paper-towels with string behind the ears) are NOT classed as RPE (Respiratory Protective Equipment) and DO NOT PROTECT against air-borne particulates. They should be avoided unless absolutely no other options are available.
