Respirators are Critical for Workers Exposed to Harmful Airborne Particles in the Workplace

March 18, 2014

   Healthy lungs are a critical component to any workers health, well-being and productivity. But because the lungs are complex and delicate tissues, they can be easily damaged by airborne particles - especially if those particles are very small and/or heavily concentrated in the air. This is particularly true for many workplace environments where chemicals and/or dust particles can be inhaled over long periods of time creating both temporary and/or long term health problems. Fortunately, the use of an appropriate respirator can sidestep health issues by protecting workers from harmful inhalants.

     The N95 Dust/Mist respirator effectively filters dust and other non-oil based particles with 95% efficiency.  Some other features of this mask include:

  • Lightweight, contour fit
  • Dual elastic straps providing secure comfortable fit
  • Materials allow ease of breathing and speaking
  • Disposable
  • Maintenance free
  • Available with front exhalation valve to release heat and moisture to prevent fogging
