Whether working in the medical, pharmaceutical or dentistry industry, we have Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) that will help keep you safe. Coronavirus (COVID-19) has brought to prominence the need not only to have adequate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), but also to have an adequate supply of it.
We supply both disposable masks and reusable masks from 3M, BLS, Climax and DeltaPlus. Our FFP3 and FFP2 disposable masks provide the required levels of safety when working with potentially infectious patients. These disposable face masks can either be single shift use or multiple-shift use, but ultimately must be disposed of safely when necessary. If a reusable face mask is needed, our half-face masks and full-face masks can be equipped with the required filters to give the wearer a longer-lasting solution. Full face masks also provide eye protection, therefore no additional eye protection may be needed. (This should be checked with your own safety personnel before usage)
Not only is it a legal requirement, but it is also vitally important when working in such environments to make sure respirators are correctly worn and face fitted. Our 3M and Alpha Solway sweet fit test kits and bitter fit test kits will allow you to do just that.
When working for long periods of time without breaks, a more comfortable loose-fitting solution may be more suitable. Our 3M powered air systems provide the user with a resistance free-breathing solution, that not only keeps the wearer breathing safely, but can also provide additional types of PPE depending on the type of head tops chosen. These systems are particularly popular in dentistry.
All equipment should be properly inspected before usage and any damaged parts disposed of and replaced. After usage, the relevant equipment should either be disposed of or in other cases, cleaned, maintained and properly stored.
