ACTION PLAN UPDATE - The NIOSH PPT Program Action Plan for Healthcare Worker Personal Protective Equipment is used to prioritize and select current and future PPT Program initiatives including funding, staffing, and upgrading laboratory capabilities within current budget constraints. Based upon comments received to Docket 129-A on the framework document, Appendix 1 (Proposed Recommendations and Activities) has been revised. The detailed Action Plan (currently under development) will use these updated recommendations and activities. Our goal is to post the updated action plan to the NIOSH website in 2014.
