Employees regularly inhale vapors, smoke, powder or dust while performing their job.

Wearing the right dust masks offer protection against fine dust and other dangerous particles that could harm the worker’s respiratory system.

A full-face mask is used if the materials are truly toxic as they adhere tightly to the face.

If there are hazardous vapors or infectious agents, invest in respirators that can clean the particles as you inhale.

Hands and fingers are on the front lines so it is vital to protect them properly with PPE. There is not a safety glove fit for all.
