| Abstract |
Referring to the UNI-ISPESL guideline for the selection and use of respiratory protective devices (see CIS 00-1403), this article provides justification for the criteria for selection and use of such devices based on experience gained in contacts with manufacturers and with users. It is pointed out in particular that the safety gain available from the protective device depends on the likelihood that the device is worn, which in turn depends on the wearing comfort, simplicity, instruction and training, and motivation. |
