Protect against asbestos
June 1st 2008 Draeger has a range of
respiratory protection which
can protect against asbestos.
Asbestos is most likely to
be found in buildings either
built or refurbished before
2000. Providing respiratory
protection against airborne
asbestos as well as dust and
metal particles, the Draeger
range of FFP3 half masks
combines comfort and
performance with a wide
choice of design options to
suit different users as well as
different environments.
Recent reports from the
HSE that the people most at
risk from asbestos related
cancers are those who carry
out building maintenance
and refurbishment work such
as demolition contractors,
electricians, roofing
contractors, painters and
decorators and joiners.
The lightweight Draeger Xplore
3000 twin-filter half
mask range, for instance, can
be used with a wide selection
of filters including the new
Draeger X-plore Pure Filter
range. Reusable over more
than one shift and featuring
a patented design for a quick
and easy fit, the Pure, lintfree
filters can be used as a
particle filter or in
combination with gas filters.
Modular in design, they can
also be supplied with an
integrated charcoal layer to
protect against nuisance and
organic odours. More articles from Draeger Safety UK Limited: |
