Protect your face and lungs with facial and respiratory protection

Facial protection only protects the eyes and is used against hazards such as (coarse) debris, grinding spatter (shavings) and liquid spatter that are not damaging to the skin. Facial protection can be implemented with face masks and hoods, but can also be used in conjunction with helmets and hearing protection.

Respiratory protection ensures that no hazardous materials are present when inhaling air.

Respiratory protection can be implemented in two ways: dependently and independently. Independent protection supplies clean air from an external source and dependent protection filters the air that is being inhaled.

Choosing the right protection requires concrete, specialised knowledge of air quality and hazardous materials present as well as the various options for respiratory protection. The most suitable respiratory protection depends on the nature of the pollution and the health risks associated with it. Take a look at the respiratory protection category for specific explanations and information.
