Designed to be worn
June 1st 2007 To help increase wearer
acceptance of PPE, 3M
products are designed with
comfort, fit, style and
performance in mind.
For example, when
Gloucester Fire & Rescue
Service conducted trials of
several types of full face,
half-mask and disposable
respirators from a range of
manufacturers, the 3M 7500
Series re-usable half mask
with the company's P3
protection filter came out
top in all categories.
The low profile design of
the respirator ensures
compatibility with headgear
such as welding shields,
while exhaled air is
channelled downwards to
reduce fogging of eyewear
and faceshields. Specially
designed 3M 2790 goggles
fit around the nose bridge of
the half mask to ensure a
comfortable, close fit.
The company offers a
range of respirators to
protect from harmful
substances, whether dust
particles, fibres, metal
fumes, gases and vapours or
even biological agents.
3M's protective eyewear in
lightweight, durable
materials has scratch
resistant coatings, anti-fog
treatments and UV protection.
Ear defenders range from
disposable foam ear plugs
and re-useable plugs to high
tech ear muffs including
high attenuation and
electronic versions. More articles from 3M UK PLC: |
