| Abstract |
Given the wide variety of exposure hazards in the building and construction sector, including wood dust, asbestos fibres and solvent vapours, choosing the appropriate respirator is a key factor for ensuring the effectiveness of protection. This article covers the various types of respirators (filtering or insulating), their selection as a function of the tasks to be undertaken, correct use (respirator size suited to the user, user training) and the marking of respirators. |
