Combo passes fit test

Designed to solve the problem of
incompatible safety eyewear and
disposable masks, which makes
respirator fit testing a challenge, JSP's
FilterSpec combines a mask and
disposable filter with safety spectacles
or goggles into one unit in a way that
allows both protective devices to work
independently, but in harmony.
Fit testing 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 a goggle version called FilterSpec Pro, allow both eye and respiratory protection to work as an integrated unit, so that a perfect fit is achieved for both items of PPE.
