Respiratory Protection

Dust Masks and Respirators are considered essential protective equipment in many industries where excessive dust and air particles can seriously damage workers' lungs and respiratory systems. Regardless of your choice of protection, always choose a NIOSH-approved respirator or dust mask suitable for your environmental hazard. Respirators and face masks both play the same role of protecting the wearer from liquid and airborne particles contaminating their face. A surgical mask is not a suitable replacement for a respirator.

With the onset of COVID-19, there were widespread shortages of N95 masks. Medical professionals who manage respiratory issues in healthcare institutions use respirators to protect themselves from infectious illnesses. Whereas manufacturers, contractors, and cleanrooms use respiratory protection in compliance with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Protecting your health is the aim of the guidelines. Ensure your application has the proper protection by choosing the right respirator.

Respiratory protection must be suited to the environment that relates to its use. That simple dust mask used for woodworking will not protect against paint fumes. And, when painting with oil, it is important to ensure your filter is rated P to be resistant to oil. No matter the mask or rating, the fit must be secure. Typically, an N95 is easier to wear comfortably, whereas an R99 or P99 increases breathing fatigue due to the higher degree of filtration.

What is respiratory protection?

Respiratory protection refers to devices such as masks, respirators, and breathing apparatuses that protect the wearer from inhaling harmful substances like dust, fumes, vapors, gases, and infectious particles.

When is respiratory protection necessary?

Respiratory protection is necessary in environments where harmful particles, gases, or infectious diseases are present and can't be adequately controlled by other means like ventilation or process control.

What's the difference between a mask and a respirator?

While both face masks and respirators provide a barrier between the wearer and potential contaminants, respirators generally offer higher protection. They are designed to filter out specific contaminants such as dust and debris.

Can respiratory protection completely eliminate exposure to harmful substances?

While respiratory protective devices greatly reduce exposure, they can't eliminate the risks associated with breathing in harmful substances, particularly if not properly fitted or used. They should be part of a comprehensive safety program.

What types of industries require respiratory protection?

Many industries require respiratory protection, including healthcare, construction, painting, agriculture, chemical processing, firefighting, and others where harmful substances may be inhaled. Although healthcare workers generally wear face masks, protection from highly infectious diseases requires respiratory protection.
