Medical Accessories for Hospitality Workers
Many Australian industries have been largely affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, but among the top is Australia’s hospitality sector. Medical accessories for all hospitality workers are now the new norm, with “no face mask, no work” mandated across almost all customer-facing positions.
Service workers, such as baristas, waiters and fast-food attendants are at the greatest risk of both catching and transferring Covid-19. These workers are exposed to disease and infection because they are put in close physical contact with many others. Hence it is crucial to supply all hospitality workers with medical masks so they can work safely, and our stores can stay open and operational.
Of particular concern are those on casual contracts with lesser benefits. Usually, these lower-paying or gig jobs have no paid sick leave, forcing many workers to go to work even if they have flu-like symptoms or lose their opportunity for income. Additionally, the Australian Government has identified that younger Aussies (aged 18-30) are more likely to spread the disease. Importantly they are the age group that generally do casual, people-orientated jobs where workers are face to face with different customers every few minutes.
Wearing a face covering provides a physical barrier to block germs coming into your body through your mouth and nose. A medical face mask also works in reverse to protect any germs from your body being spread to others. It has been shown that a medical mask is a simple and effective way to prevent the spread of coronavirus, especially when compared to other coverings such as scarfs, bandanas and face shields.
At Biomed, we proudly hold one of Australia’s best medical grade textile ranges for reusable face masks. Using complex, sensitive fabric combinations, our designs provide maximum comfort and versatility to adequately meet the requests of any hospitality, retail or other customer-facing workers.
Most importantly, at Biomed, we understand many workers are required to wear face masks for long hours on their shift. Which is why we have highly tested and engineered our masks for superior quality and comfort. As a result, our masks are latex-free, allergen-free, antibacterial, breathable, stretchy and durable for maximum ease and reliability throughout the workday.
Our range of face masks fabrics are available in a variety of sizes, layers and specifications. Biomed can assist any customer with custom designs such as logos. We offer five reusable medical masks which suit different price ranges and different usages;
- Bioshield-05
- 5-layer face mask
- 7-layer face mask
- Anti-bacterial face mask
- 3-layer face mask
Biomed’s mission is to create high-quality medical textiles, which is why we ensure that our business operations always align with our ISO 9001 certification for quality management. Our dedication to strict Australian standards demonstrates the reliability of our products and our commitment to providing our customers with superior products that offer a high level of comfort through the minimisation of skin irritations alongside antibacterial and hypoallergenic properties for safety and comfort. Through the prevention of germs and bacteria, the life of medical products such as CPAP masks can be prolonged, as the build-up of bacteria and germs can cause fabric that is not of a medical-grade to deteriorate over time and become unsanitary and uncomfortable to wear.
At Biomed, we have a longstanding partnership with ResMed to supply medical grade fabrics for their products, which have offered superior patient comfort for decades.
