Get more face time.

A respirator can’t give workers all the protection it was

designed to provide, unless it is selected and worn

correctly during all periods of exposure. That’s why

3M uses a variety of innovative technologies and features

designed to enhance user comfort and help increase

wear time.

Disposable respirators require a good seal between the

respirator and face to deliver the expected protection.

To obtain a good seal, always follow all directions provided

with each respirator model.

Important

All 3M Filtering Facepieces are NIOSH- approved respirators.

Before using, you must determine the following:

1. The types of contaminants for which the respirator is being

selected, and exposure time.

2. The concentration level of the contaminant(s). Do not use for

particle concentrations that exceed 10 times the OSHA PEL

or applicable occupational exposure limit, whichever is lower.

3. Whether the respirator can be properly fitted to the wearer’s

face. Do not use with beards, or other conditions that prevent

a good seal between the face and the sealing surface of the

respirator.

Before required use of filtering facepiece respirators, a written

respiratory protection program must be implemented, meeting

all the requirements of OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 including

medical evaluation, training, and fit testing.
