Air-based particles and contaminants are one of the silent and often invisible hazards on the job site. Regardless of the industry, most job sites will feature at least one airborne threat, be it dust, chemical fumes, or pulverized material like fiberglass powder. While you may not think that tiny particles of dust or other contaminants will hurt you, exposing yourself to airborne hazards can cause damage over time. You only have one set of lungs, and protecting them will go a long way toward improving your quality of life as you get older.
Fortunately, you can pick up a 3M™ Multipurpose Respirator Mask from Menards. The NIOSH-approved mask features filters designed to prevent 99.97% of solids, liquid aerosols, and oil-based contaminants from entering your lungs. The respirator has adjustable head straps for all-day comfort, while its lightweight, durable design makes the mask easy to wear and long-lasting, even in the harshest conditions. The filters are replaceable and easy to change, and the kit includes one respirator mask and one set of organic filters.
