On today’s podcast, we’re going to be covering masks and respirators.

Seeing people wearing masks and respirators these days is commonplace. However, long before the Covid Pandemic was upon us, wearing masks and respirators was part of the PPE (Personal Protection Equipment) safety procedures used to combat oxygen-deficient atmospheres and airborne contaminants. The most dangerous elements are invisible, and they can be lurking anywhere you set foot, waiting for you to take a breath. When you temporarily remove or forget to wear a hard hat, safety glasses, and steel toe boots, you most definitely are putting yourself at risk of everything from injury to death. However, it would be when an accident occurred at the exact time you weren’t wearing those items. In reference to masks and respirators, especially in areas with known airborne dangers present, your lack of PPE might cause immediate and potentially long-term damage.

We never condone taking off PPE or not following the safety guidelines of your facility. When it comes to respiratory protection, we’re especially firm in our recommendation to always wear it. Just one incident can cause irreparable damage or death – and there’s NO excuse for that!

Whether it’s an OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) Guideline or safety guideline set forth by your facility, please follow it to the letter!
