Respiratory Protection

About

There can be hazards in the workplace. Ideally, the workplace and/or working methods should be arranged to minimize the risks. When exposure to hazards is unavoidable, personal protective equipment can be used to reduce the risk.

You need to know how to recognize the presence of contaminants in the air and/or the workplace (dust, particles, gas, smoke, fumes, mist, etc.) in order to choose the right protection for the situation.
