There's no reason you can't add a little humor into everyone's life and post up the Respirators Are A Must Poster from ABC Safety Glasses. ** Posters Observing safety rules should be job one for everyone involved and the Respirator Poster will serve to remind everyone of this fact in a humorous way. On a more serious note, respirators can prevent a multitude of harmless substances in the air from entering our bodies when we breathe. They're also able to provide a measurable supply of clean air if needed.

No doubt, respirators can often seem like an inconvenience and make breathing difficult. But, can you imagine if the difficult breathing was a permanent condition caused by lung damage? Respirators do of course have their limitations and should never be substituted for proper engineering controls that entail proper ventilation. If you find yourself in an unsafe environment, you should notify the proper authorities immediately.

The "why" of wearing respirators is quite obvious. The following is a good list of places of "when" to wear respirators. You should wear respirators if you are in a confined or enclosed space in an industrial setting. If the area is oxygen-deficient, wearing a respirator is a sound choice. If you are in an atmosphere with high concentrations of toxic gases, dust, or vapors, wearing respirators makes perfect sense. If you're involved in any activities, such as fire fighting, where the atmosphere is compromised-wearing respirators can be a personal life saving experience.

The kind of respirators to use can sometimes present a challenge. However, there are two basic types: air-supplying and air-purifying. The air-purifying is the most common type used in industrial settings and comes with the double cartridge respirators. Air-supplying respirators are used in a more intense environment where the air is virtually unbreathable.

Safety goes hand in hand with wearing a respirator and the employee shouldn't have a condition that is aggravated by wearing a respirator. Such conditions would be heart disease or respiration problems. It might just be a good idea to be up on first aid procedures in case of an emergency as well. ABC Safety Glasses has all the type and sizes of respirators you'll need to get the job done.
