Respiratory protection is essential in environments where workers may be exposed to harmful airborne contaminants, such as dust, fumes, gases, or airborne pathogens. It involves the use of respirators and other protective equipment to filter or supply clean air for breathing. Respiratory protection devices, such as disposable masks, half-face masks, full-face masks, and powered air purifying respirators (PAPRs), create a barrier between the user's respiratory system and the surrounding air. These devices are designed to filter out or provide a fresh supply of clean air, depending on the type of hazard present. Respiratory protection is crucial for maintaining the health and safety of workers, preventing respiratory illnesses, and complying with occupational health and safety regulations. Proper selection, fit, and use of respiratory protection equipment are essential to ensure its effectiveness in protecting against airborne hazards.
