Respiratory Protection

Respiratory Protection Options for the Workplace

Respiratory protection options help employees protect themselves against odors, harmful chemicals, airborne particles, and any other hazardous substances. If you’re re-opening your business, consider respiratory protection options like dust and N95 masks, which can be helpful in preventing exposure to not only airborne particles, but also dust, bacteria, mold, and other contaminants. Available from top brands like 3M, dust masks can help keep employees safe.

What Are the 3 Types of Air-Purifying Respirators?

The three different types of air-purifying respirators are half-mask respirators, full-face respirators, and disposable respirators. Half-mask respirators can help stop the inhalation of harmful substances and are appropriate when eye protection is not needed. If the eyes need to be protected as well, then full-face respirators are an ideal choice. If your working with dust and debris, rather than harmful chemicals or pollutants, then a disposable respirator, including N95 respirators, might be the most suitable choice.

Supplied Air Systems

If you’re working in an environment where breathing can be difficult or filtered air is needed, then a supplied air system might be needed. Available with flame-resistant protective hoods, these respirators can help protect against both solid and liquid contaminants.
