Description

Depending on the work you are doing, you need to make sure that you use the correct types of facial protection. If you buy masks that are not suited to your job, they can give you a false sense of security – and may not protect you from breathing in airborne particulates. Depending on the task, a dust mask or surgical mask may not be suitable PPE for your activity.

A N95 or P2 disposable particulate respirator will you some protection against mechanically generated dust on worksites as well as general airborne particles, gases or vapours in air pollution.

They are the most convenient type of particulate respirator. These face masks are easy to put on and don’t take up much room in your bag. While they provide protection against airborne particles like dust, mist and fumes, they don’t protect you from gases, chemicals and vapours.

Disposable P2 masks provide a very close facial fit and work by filtering out particles in the air as you breath it through the material filter.

It is advisable to wear a properly fitted mask whenever you are producing dust such as cutting, doing demolition, or sweeping debris. A N95 face mask is also useful against air pollution smog as it prevents airborne particles from being breathed in. They are also being used in circumstances for virus control as they offer stronger protection than a basic face covering.
