As the coronavirus impacts the country, personal protection equipment is crucial right now. With companies looking to reopen, employees will be needing protection so they can work safely. Without the proper equipment, these workers are at serious risk.
If you need to get protective equipment for your employees, Global Office Solutions can help. We’re working with our manufacturing partners to supply businesses across the country with safety equipment.
When looking for masks to buy, you should keep an eye out for N95 masks. This type of mask has been approved by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, and is one of the most effective tools for essential workers.
These are very popular in the medical field, thanks to their comfortable design and a strong filtration efficiency of at least 95%. Compared to single layer masks, N95 masks can protect people from smaller air particles. These include the ones that float through the air after someone coughs or sneezes.
Keep a close eye out for masks with low breathing resistance, since workers will be more comfortable using them.
Another type of mask that’s recommended is the CE mask. These disposable masks have been approved by the European Economic Area, thanks to their health, safety, and comfort benefits.
These are labeled as FP1, FFP2, or FFP3, depending on a mask’s efficiency rating for blocking out harmful particles. Here are the differences:
Protective masks come in many shapes and sizes, and the types you should use depend on your risk level. The type of business you run will also impact this decision.
