#MEandPPE
We created the #MEandPPE campaign to encourage people to wear masks to protect themselves and their communities as COVID-19 cases continue to rise.
Even with the vaccine being distributed, it is so crucial that people remain vigilant and follow the CDC recommendations this winter. We hope this reminder—that we are all in this together, but it starts with ‘me’—can help get us through the winter with less loss of life and tragedy.
We urge businesses to join the #MeandPPE social media campaign and share photos of their employees staying safe and wearing masks using the MeandPPE hashtag or tagging @MEandPPE on Facebook or Instagram.

Mask Wearing 101 From 9 to 5
With the onset of winter, we wanted to share some essential tips for employees and mask-wearing as temperatures drop:
- Employees who work outdoors may suffer from a wet or frozen mask. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicates that, once they get wet, masks become less effective and can be hard to breathe through. Provide or encourage your employees to carry two to three back-ups and switch out accordingly while they’re on the job.
- Serve as a source for inclusivity in the workspace. Consider your team’s unique needs and work to find the right safety solution for each employee. For instance, the CDC advises that if an employee has a disability, is deaf or hard of hearing, works with young children, or needs to read facial expressions, that it may be helpful to wear clear masks that show the wearer’s mouth.
- Foster a safe environment for employees. Feeling safe is critical, not only for the sustainability of business, but for employees’ mindsets. According to a recent Qualtrics study (PDF), employees are more likely to feel comfortable going back to work if their employer mandates that masks be worn by everyone.
- Communicate all steps that are being taken at the workplace to mitigate COVID-19 spread. Let employees know the procedures you are following, such as those recommended by the CDC to clean and sanitize.
- Provide work site testing. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) (PDF) states that employers may provide work site testing to reduce risks to the safety and health of workers.
