Respiratory Masks & Escape Hoods Explained
What is a respirator?
A respirator is a safety device to protect you from inhaling dangerous substances such as dust or particulates, and gas and vapours, or any combination of these. Safety mask respirators come in a wide range of types and sizes used by anyone who is coming into contact with these hazardous substances. Safety mask respirators range from cheap single-use, disposable masks to reusable devices with replaceable cartridges and filters.

Respiratory Air Fed Masks - filter gases and particulates out of the air as you breathe. When the user inhales, air is pulled through the filter. This respirator includes a facepiece mask and a filter. Straps secure the facepiece to the head. We recommend the half mask for up to an hour for up to 1-hour use. For longer than 1 hour, we recommend a full face mask.
Escape Hoods - (breathing escape sets) are designed to be used only in an emergency, and only to escape from a dangerous area to a safe area. There are several escape respirators on the market. Many of them use a hood with a neck seal instead of a facepiece. They are typically designed for single use for up to 15 minutes.
Powered Air Respirators - Powered and/or Supplied Air respirators are powered by battery packs and feed a mask, visor or hood with clean and pure air. We recommend the use of a powered air respirator when a respirator is required for a full shift.
Respiratory Visors & Hoods - These are popular because they are loose fitting and they don't require the wearer to have a fit test. They offer increased comfort for longer duration wear due to the cooling effect of air circulation.
