What should employers do if they have difficulty obtaining respirators such as N95 masks for their staff/workers?
Masks are available at major supermarkets, such as NTUC Fairprice and Cold Storage, and at pharmacies such as Guardian, Watsons and Unity. The national stockpile of N95 masks may be released to the major pharmacies and supermarkets if more are needed.
As a good practice, employers should ensure sufficient stock of suitable masks. A general guide is to maintain a stockpile of one-week supply of N95 masks as part of companies’ haze-related Business Continuity Plans.
