A new concept in eye and respiratory
protection has been developed by JSP
to solve the problem of incompatible
safety eyewear and disposable masks.

Called FilterSpec, the unit combines a
mask and disposable filter with safety
spectacles or goggles into one unit in
a way that allows both devices to
work independently, but in harmony.

Fit testing of tight fitting
respiratory protection is mandated
in HSE information document
282/28, and should be conducted
with workers wearing their usual
PPE; when different eye and
respiratory PPE are later used the fit
test results become irrelevant.

Combining eye and respiratory
protection into one unit avoids this,
and overcomes the problem of leaky
masks and fogged lenses that often
occur when one item of PPE
compromises another.
FilterSpec and the goggle version,
FilterSpec Pro, allow both eye and
respiratory protection to work as an
integrated unit.
