Mask change cuts costs

Ferguson Shipbuilders is now
specifying ESAB Filtair Flat and
Filtair Pro disposable respirator
masks for use in its fabrication shop
at Port Glasgow, Scotland.

“We were using another
disposable mask but, working with
ESAB and supplier Alpha Solway, we
decided to change to Filtair masks
for quality and cost control reasons,”
explains Graeme Stevenson, health
and safety officer at the plant. Now
only ESAB Filtair masks are used at
the Ferguson fabrication works.

The Filtair Flat and Filtair Pro
ranges meet the requirements of EN
149:2001 and are CE marked in
accordance with the requirements of
European Directive 89/686/EEC.

Filtair Flat and Pro have been
developed to improve the comfort of
disposable respirators whilst
maintaining an excellent face fit.

Using the latest filtering technology
and low profile valves, breathing
resistance is reduced.
