Full-Face Respirators

Full-Face Respirators

Breathing is important. In fact, you can’t live without it and protecting your lungs will make breathing a lot easier. That’s where full-face respiratory protection comes in. Respiratory protection is a group of PPE with the sole purpose of providing the user with clear air.

Full face respirators are one of the most effective and accurate forms of respiratory protection available. While most common respirators simply cover the nose and mouth, full face respirators create a seal around your face to prevent exposure of particulates to your skin as well as your lungs. These respirators typically come with a cartridge included but will need the cartridges replaced after a certain amount of uses. Also, be sure to remember that the cartridge that it comes with might not be suitable for every situation.

When picking out proper respiratory protection there are a few main things to consider.

What hazards are you going to be exposed to? Have you assessed the situation? What level of protection do you need? What are the different types of filters and what do they do? What standards do I need to make sure I’m in compliance with? These questions will ensure that you are following best practices in making your decision when purchasing respiratory protection.
