What are reusable respirators?
Reusable respirators are protective gears that protect workers from the hazardous effects of vapors and gases found in their work environments. Most reusable respirators come branded with industrial letters and colors to let the wearer know which type of gas the reusable respirator mask protects them from. Once done with the reusable respirator after every use, the wearer should clean the device. They should also conduct visual checks for any tears or cracks on the device. A reusable respirator needs to fit the wearer's face perfectly. Furthermore ensure you have the correct filter cartridge. Otherwise, it won’t do its job.
