What Do I Need to Know About Respiratory Protection Safety Equipment?

When you need safety equipment in Ottawa, don’t forget to include respiratory protection safety equipment. In order to protect your construction workers and other employees, and comply with the Ontario Health and Safety Act, you have to supply protective gear that filters out hazardous gases and dangerous materials.  

Our safety supply store in Ottawa has an array of respiratory protection equipment and air purifiers to meet the needs of customers in different industries, including: 

  • Elastomeric respirators in full-face or half-face  
  • Powered-air purifying respirators  
  • Particulate respirators  
  • Supplied air respirator systems  
  • Reusable and disposable face masks  

How Respirators Protect Your Workers 

Respirators and air purifiers protect workers against numerous hazards including the following: 

  • Insufficient oxygen 
  • Harmful dust and debris 
  • Fogs, smoke, and mists 
  • Gases and vapors 
  • Sprays 

When your workers wear protective respiratory equipment, they face a lower risk of adverse health conditions, including some cancers and lung diseases. These products filter out airborne particles, chemicals, and gases. Make sure you understand the products you purchase from our Ottawa safety supply store as each product targets specific hazards and environments.
