Visors - PPE
Production
Our Design & Technology
department have been
making visors for NHS staff
and local health care
providers.
The department’s laser
cutter has been in full use,
creating headbands from
sheet plastic before clear
plastic film is attached to
complete the face masks.
With more plastic ordered
and, on the way, we aim to
continue producing much
needed visors in the weeks
ahead.
Visors have already been
delivered to local care
homes, Children’s homes,
GP surgeries and NHS
Treatment
Rooms. We
would also like to thank
Kerr McGuffie for sourcing
a new belt for the laser
cutter.
Our kind hearted Science
staff have also donated all
their goggles to South
Ayrshire care teams to
support them as they
continue
providing
essential care within our
local community.
With production underway
the department aim to
have around 500 visors
created by the end of the
week! Well done everyone!
