A couple goofballs should lighten this thread right up.
Staff at Our Lady of the Lake hospital as well as satellite facilities and clinics are being threatened with their jobs for attempting to wear masks...
That’s right. Even if they’ve purchased their own masks they’re being denied the right to protect themselves in a place where the viral load and potential for infection is at its highest. In contrast, all other area hospitals are attempting to protect their staff by any means available, even making it mandatory to wear protective equipment.
On Friday, employees found wearing masks had them confiscated by administrative personnel. Pregnant nurses were told there are no exceptions.

Idiots. That’ll cause them to shut down boating. Then I will go nuts. I took the boat out yesterday and didn’t come into contact with anyone nor did I touch anything besides my boat and truck. They ban fishing I’ll lose it.

Sounds like B.S too me Bruh.....
Yeah, they’re full of that, no doubt. But they earned a visit from OSHA and DHH, maybe even JCAH. 2 out of 3 TV stations in town thought it was news worthy. WAFB is so far up their ass that they stuck fingers in their ears and did that la-la-la thing...
I’m wearing my mask and taking names.
My wife works for OLOL. This is not totally true. Employees are not allowed to wear “homemade” masks or masks not supplied by the hospital. PPE has to be supplied by the employer.

This is not good. 20+ nursing homes have positive cases. It's like the cruise ship in there, once one person gets it, it makes its way through.

Uh, I’m living it dude. Totally true.
Oh, home made masks huh? I bet that’s the excuse they’ll give if challenged on it, but what I said Is the truth and I stand by it. I’m not the only person that’s got N95 masks and being told not to wear masks period unless giving direct care to a known Covid patient. As far as *Hospital supplied masks* they came and grabbed up every N95 from every unit as soon as this began, so they aren’t supplying masks. And why would they deny an employee the right to protect themself? They refused to give the directive in writing when asked to. Is your wife a nurse at OLOL? Has she talked to any of the nurses here who have been harassed for wearing the proper mask on the job? I have not seen any homemade masks. But if that’s all I had I’d wear it. OSHA told me don’t sweat it, wear a mask if I want and just keep them informed if OLOL takes any action against me whatsoever.
It might if there were any truth to it
Oh, I forgot to mention, the person I talked to at the Baton Rouge OSHA office, I’ll call him Matt, because that’s the name he gave me.. his wife works at one of the clinics that is only opening one day a week I think he said, going through the same ordeal there.
I believe this:

Being familiar with OSHA, there is no, you can't wear your own PPE intention behind this. The employers are required to provide PPE required to do your job safely. In my area this might meant they're willing to provide you the cheapest safety glasses that meet z87. It does not mean that you can't wear a pair of oakleys or other personal glasses that also meet or exceed the requirements. Same with fire retardant clothing, many folks will buy their own that fits better than a Cintas jumpsuit.
In this case, it seems as though the employer is failing to provide PPE in enough quantity to support their workers, and thus likely failing to meet OSHA. But this may be a matter of what the CDC recommends not obligating the hospitals to provide the PPE yet. Likely because there aren't enough resources even if the CDC mandates it.
I’m thinking it’s because they don’t want to waste masks that are in short supply. It sounds like they don’t want you just wearing them all around the hospital so you can save them for dealing with someone with symptoms.
