Respiratory Protection Page
This page is used to track the research on Repiratory Protection. Based on my findings the best way to cover most of the situations we may come in contact with, we should purchase an Air Purifying Respirator from Grainger. I have recommended three different models below based on features. Considering the last incident the Full Face Air Purifying with Communications would be ideal, however we do not come in contact very often with this environment so we could get by with the Half face Air Purifying. All masks require cartridges which are sold separately. The most popular is the combination cartridge recommended below. Also included below are resources I used for my research to determine my recommendation. I did check the Zee Medical Website and they only sell low end respiratory protection devices. North Safety is sold through our local Grainger Facility providing ideal access to this product as well as replacements. We will have to get with Grainger or North Safety to figure out Fit Testing.
