What are Face Masks and Respirators ?

 Workplace safety is extremely essential as workers are always surrounded with heavy-duty machines and hazardous materials. And one of the most significant parts of a human body which can get irrevocably damaged is the face. While there are safety glasses to protect our eyes and earplugs to protect our ears, there has always been a debate over face masks and respirators

But more than any physical injury, these face protectors are more efficient in preventing harmful materials from entering the respiratory track. Whether it is minute dust particles or radioactive contamination - both these face protectors are effective when it comes to fulfilling their duties to perfection.

Let's take a quick trip to know more on face masks and respirators, how different they are from each other, and what are the right ways to dispose them. After all, you need to know which one is best suited to your requirements.

What are Face Masks?

Theses masks fit loosely over the nose and the mouth, and protect them from sprays and splashes. Not only do they prevent things from entering inside, they are also effective in stopping things from going outside. For example, keeping droplets from spreading in the air when the wearer coughs or sneezes.

What are Respirators?

Respirators offer all the benefits that a face mask can offer. In addition to that, the tighter fit of a respirator makes the wearer inhale the air which passes through its filter material. This filter is specially designed to trap small airborne particles and the wearer breathes in a cleaner air. Due to their effectiveness, they are widely preferred in both industrial and medical sectors.

Conclusion

Whatever you choose to use, make sure that you do not share it with anybody else. After getting overused, damaged or soiled, put it inside a plastic bag and throw it into the trash bin.
