I have just had the following query from one of our first aiders & would be grateful if anyone out there could point me towards any guidance related to this item:

"in light of the recent SARS cases it is now recommended that First Aiders' have a flow guard face mask for CPR - are you aware of this new legislation"

I am asking the persons who raised this to identify their source also.

Regards
Heather Bearpark (formerly George)
