New York MEP COVID-19 Assistance

**Personal Protective Equipment* (PPE) Survey**

The New York Manufacturing Extension Partnership (NYMEP) is helping manufacturers statewide to access PPE in response to COVID-19. We will use your responses to get a better sense of the demand for PPE categories and types, and will then validate competitive suppliers and recommend PPE buying channels to manufacturers statewide.

*Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is equipment worn to minimize exposure to hazards that cause serious injuries and illness. PPE may include items such as masks, gloves, gowns and respirators.
