In personal protective equipment, respiratory protection is very important. We watched some cases of escaping from fire, and each mentioned that we should cover the mouth and nose with a wet towel. This way to protect the respiratory system is a simple anti-virus filter mask, which can block some dust and harmful gases from entering Injury caused inside the human body.
In industrial production, in some dust, toxic pollution or hypoxic environment, in order to prevent harmful gases, dust, smoke, mist, harmful vapors and other components from inhaling from the respiratory tract, workers usually wear some breathing Organ protective equipment, some of which can supply oxygen or clean air to the user, thereby protecting the normal breathing of the staff. However, in order to maximize the effectiveness of respiratory equipment, it is necessary to wear them correctly. Let’s take a look at how to use these respiratory protective equipment.
Respiratory protection products mainly include dust masks and gas masks.
Before using the dust mask, check whether the parts are intact. If damaged, it must be cleaned up or replaced in time. In addition, pay attention to check the air tightness of each connection, especially the air supply mask or mask, to see if the joints and pipelines are unblocked. In addition to dust, when the workplace is accompanied by toxic fog, smoke, gas, or the oxygen content in the air is less than 18%, isolated dust-proof appliances should be used, and filter-type dust-proof appliances are prohibited. Wear dust masks correctly, adjust the straps and headbands appropriately, and there should be no serious pressure on the face. Dust-proof appliances should be dedicated for special use. After use and in the plastic bag, avoid squeezing and damage.
Gas masks can be divided into filter type and isolation type. Filter-type anti-virus appliances filter out toxic gases in the air before allowing people to breathe. Therefore, it cannot be used when the oxygen content of the air in the working environment is less than 18%. Filter-type gas masks and masks cannot be used for operations with serious dangers, complex and changeable site conditions, and two or more poisons. Isolated anti-virus appliances mainly rely on air ducts to deliver unpolluted air or oxygen into the airtight anti-virus appliances for workers to breathe. Isolated anti-virus appliances are used in polluted environments with hypoxia, unknown toxic gas components or high concentrations.
