Disposable Face Mask - Essential And Mandatory

Respiratory hazards at work can cause serious health issues for which use of suitable

precaution and personal protection gear is extremely essential and important. In most industries which undertake grinding, drilling, milling, painting and at times cleaning process release fine particles of dusts, fiberglass, asbestos, excessive mold and chemical powder which seem invisible to the human eye into the atmosphere. Therefore, it becomes utmost essential for you avoid inhaling them as far as possible which can be done through using disposable face masks.

There are many varieties of safety face masks available in both disposable and non disposable range. Also available are semi disposable face masks, reusable face masks and battery operated face masks. You do need to check out and go for the most suitable face mask as per the respiratory hazard you face at work. It is essential for you to go for a quality face mask which contain exhale valve which reduces the carbon dioxide and heat buildup and enables the user to breathe more freely. In case you go for a disposable face mask, make sure it is disposed off after suggested period of use, while it is disposable is done in a preferred manner.

The FFP1 mask is a traditional designed mask with without the valve which offers protection from solid as well as liquid aerosol variants. For those who require protection from fine dusts, fibres, oil based mists, organic vapors below the OEL and even aqueous mists, the FFP2 mask with or without the valve has to be chosen. On the other hand the FFP3 masks are designed to offer protection against same variant but in a still finer variety. The disposable safety masks chosen have to comply and conform to EN 149:2001

You could even go for a disposable face mask which contains a moulded cup shape and twin head straps which provide the user with an extra comfortable and secure fit. The shape of the mask is so designed so as to lower the carbon dioxide and the heat build up making the wearer feel comfortable when working while wearing it.

The above mentioned could be considering the face mask from an occupational point of view. But it is equally essential for you to ensure the face masks are designed for user comfort and safety. The safety masks should not cause discomfort or uneasiness to the wearers. In fact, they should fit the face perfectly and enable the wearer to breathe comfortably. The workers should receive proper training and instruction as to how wear and use them in the right manner. They should be instructed to wear the safety masks at all times till they are present within the hazardous area. It is equally important for you to check the disposable safety masks provided are within the expiry period, for the user's health and safety is your prime concern.
