What to do if you have a beard?
If an employee cannot achieve a seal with a tight-fitting face piece; there are two options;
1: The employee would either have to shave their facial hair or,
2: The employer would need to provide alternative protection.
In the case of point 2, the alternative would be a powered air respirator.
Powered Air Respirators, when worn with loose-fitting head tops, are a convenient alternative solution, allowing users to retain their facial hair and high levels of protection against hazards.
