• Not knowing much about PPE, I couldn’t understand how some of our stocks had expired. Latex gloves was about all I could come up with!?

    I've got a packet of 2 dust masks I bought when putting some loft insulation in many years ago which are marked as expired in 2014. My other half wore one to Sainsbury's last week and it seems okay but the elastic in the straps is most of the way to perished. If you have ever stretched an old elastic band only for it to snap and crumble then that is what it feels like it is about to do.

    I can imagine things like gowns have similar issues with cuffs etc.
