Full Face Respirators in Kenya

What Is a Full Face Respirator?

A full face respirator is a reusable respiratory protective device that covers the wearer’s eyes, nose and mouth. It normally includes a transparent viewing lens, face seal, adjustable straps, inhalation and exhalation valves, and connections for compatible filters or cartridges.

Full face respirators provide broader facial coverage than half-face respirators. They may be selected where the assessed hazard requires respiratory protection together with protection of the eyes from selected particles, splashes, gases or vapours.

The level and type of protection depend on the respirator model, selected filter or cartridge, facial fit, workplace conditions and correct use.

Full Face Respirators

Full face respirators cover the eyes, nose and mouth. They may be selected where the identified workplace hazard requires respiratory protection together with eye and facial coverage.

• Covers the eyes, nose and mouth
• Provides a wider facial sealing area
• Uses compatible replaceable filters or cartridges
• Requires cleaning and regular inspection
• May reduce the need for separate goggles

Half Face Respirators

Half-face respirators cover the nose and mouth but leave the eyes exposed. Separate eye protection may therefore be required.

• Covers the nose and mouth
• Leaves the eyes uncovered
• Generally lighter and more compact
• Uses compatible filters or cartridges
• May be worn with suitable safety goggles
