Which filter should I use?
Focusing on your own and your colleagues' personal safety, nothing is more important than safe and stable breathing all the time. This requires clean air for inhalation, which is not always straightforward in the workplace. Therefore, for decades, solutions have been developed for different types of masks in the personal safety equipment market.
Once you've found the half or full mask that best fits your face with the most effective closure, it's time to determine how to get clean air into your lungs. You must have the unclean air filtered. But with which filter? Here are some good tips on where to start when you find the filters that suit your work situation.
What mask do you use?
- What should you be protected from? Are there any particles, gases or a combination? Here you can look for a safety data sheet of the products to work with. You can also call 75144000 to Stennevad.
- Your mask determines where to look for a filter. The mask's brand must be identical to the filter’s brand.
- Make sure the filter has a future shelf life.
- Only use a filter mask 3 hours a day in Denmark. That is Danish law.
As you can see, there is a lot to consider before throwing yourself into a given task. We therefore recommend that you prepare yourself and your colleagues as well as possible. Therefore, it's always good to think about the whole work through before you get started. You should be able to focus 100% on your work and you can only if you are sure your protection is correct and as comfortable as possible. Therefore, in Stennevad, we recommend that you have a specialist with respiratory protection at the sideline so you always have a sparringpartner when the demanding tasks appear.
