The Role of Infectious Dose and the Hierarchy of Prevention (Controls) for COVID-19

July 8, 2020

International experts in infection control, occupational hygiene, and respiratory protection discussed current science, controls and methodology related to exposure to coronavirus and prevention of COVID-19. This session built on the science delivered in session 1, and provided advice on the importance of the hierarchy of controls (HOC) which includes ventilation as a higher order control along with appropriate and effective personal protective equipment (PPE).

Moderator: Dr. Kevin Hedges, OHCOW Hygienist

95% Confidence Interval (CI)

95% Confidence Interval (CI) is a range of values (upper and lower) that you can be 95% certain contains the true mean of the population.

Relative Risk (RR)

The relative risk is a comparison of the risk of getting lung cancer for those exposed to diesel exhaust compared to those who have never been exposed to diesel exhaust – for example, if the relative risk is 1.5, it means that for the cumulative diesel exhaust exposure entered into the calculator, the risk associated with that exposure is 1.5 times higher than the background risk of lung cancer for those who have not been occupationally exposed to diesel exhaust.
