Respiratory Protection

Respiratory protection helps reduce exposure to airborne particles and respiratory hazards at work. It is important in environments where dust and other airborne contaminants may affect workers. The right respiratory protective equipment depends on the workplace hazard and required level of protection. Fit, filtration class, design and intended use should also be considered.

How to Choose Respiratory Protective Equipment

Start by identifying the respiratory hazard in your workplace. Consider whether workers may encounter dust, airborne particles or other contaminants. Next, check the required respirator classification. FFP2, FFP3 and N95 respirators have different classification systems and should be selected according to the workplace risk. Fit is also important. A respirator must fit correctly to provide the intended level of protection. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for fitting, use, storage and replacement. For hazards involving gases or vapours a particulate respirator may not be suitable. A respirator designed for the specific contaminant may be required.

Respiratory Protection for Workplace Applications

Respiratory protection can be used across many industries and work environments. Construction sites may involve dust from concrete, cement and other materials. Manufacturing and maintenance activities can also create airborne particles. Suitable respiratory protective equipment may be considered for:
  • Construction and building work
  • Manufacturing facilities
  • Maintenance and workshops
  • Warehouses and industrial workplaces
  • Cleaning applications
  • Healthcare settings
  • General workplace environments
The required protection can vary between tasks. A workplace risk assessment should guide the final selection.

Respiratory Protection FAQs

What is the difference between FFP2, FFP3 and N95 respirators?

FFP2 and FFP3 are European respirator classifications. N95 is a U.S. respirator classification. They use different standards and testing requirements. The appropriate option depends on the workplace hazard and required protection.

What is the difference between valved and non-valved N95 respirators?

A valved respirator has an exhalation valve. This can make exhalation more comfortable during use. Protective Wears lists both valved and non-valved N95 options.

Does Protective Wears offer both FFP2 and FFP3 respirators?

Yes. The category includes both FFP2 and FFP3 disposable respirators. Several models are supplied by Makrite while the range also includes the Gladious RESPIRE FFP2.

Are foldable N95 respirators available?

Yes. Protective Wears lists both valved and non-valved foldable N95 respirators from Makrite.

Can I use a dust mask for every workplace hazard?

No. A dust mask is not suitable for every respiratory hazard. Selection should consider the contaminant, exposure level, required protection and product specifications.

What is the MOQ for disposable respirators?

The disposable respirators listed in this category have a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces. The surgical mask has a 1,000-piece MOQ.

How can I select the right respirator for my workers?

Identify the workplace hazard first. Then compare the required respirator classification, design, fit and product certification. For specific workplace hazards follow the applicable safety requirements and manufacturer's guidance.
