Respiratory Protective Equipment

Means of protection of respiratory organs. Buy in Kyiv and Ukraine
When working in industry, in production, personnel often expose their respiratory organs to danger, but these dangers are not always obvious. For example, the dust that floats in the air after work is sometimes so microscopic that it is not visible to the eye, but if it is inhaled regularly, it will lead to chronic diseases that can manifest years later.

Very often, employees realize the degree of necessity of using personal respiratory protection equipment only after retirement, when they discover that their health is ruined. After all, the worker himself cannot always spot the source of danger, some gases do not smell. Therefore, it is important to follow safety techniques, and if the type of activity requires the mandatory use of protective equipment, do not neglect them. Moreover, modern respiratory protective equipment is quite convenient and does not interfere with work.

The threats to the health of the respiratory organs, which are faced by workers in the industrial sphere, are quite diverse:

Quarrels abound.
Smoke, burn.
Wood, concrete dust.
Chemical aerosols.
Fog.
Harmful gases.
High temperatures.
Vapors of mercury, paint, etc.

A special type of protection is created for each type of threat, so it is impossible to choose a universal means for all occasions - you need to buy respiratory protection based on the specifics of the job.
Types of means to protect respiratory organs at work
They are divided according to their purpose and place of application, according to the degree of protection into:

Filtering means of protection. Type of threats – dust, steam, gas. They are suitable for use in rooms where the concentration of hazardous substances in the air exceeds 18%, but remains low. These can be disposable or reusable gas masks, half-masks or respirators, without a valve or with a valve. Contaminated air is cleaned by passing through special filters. Such protection means are not suitable if the concentration of harmful substances is unknown, and also they cannot be used in narrow spaces, such as tanks, containers, tunnels, etc.
Insulating individual means for respiratory protection are designed to work in difficult conditions, with a high concentration of dangerous substances in the air, in narrow uncomfortable rooms, with a low level of oxygen. These are protective masks and gas masks that completely cover the face. They do not pass air through filters, the worker breathes an air mixture coming from a cylinder with liquefied oxygen, from blowers through hoses or from a regeneration cartridge. This means of respiratory protection allows the worker not to come into contact with polluted air at all, but at the same time it can reduce his mobility, limit the viewing angle, and reduce hearing. Special preparation is necessary for the use of insulating means of protection.
