There’s No Excuse for Not Wearing a Respiratory Mask

Last year, around 33,000 workers suffered breathing or lung problems thought to be caused or made worse by their working environments.

The main benefits of wearing a Respiratory Mask is that it helps prevent you from getting ill and therefore helps you to work more safely. 

So What’s Your Excuse?

• “It’s uncomfortable”
• “It interferes with my safety goggles”
• “It’s hard to talk and my colleagues can’t hear me”
• “It makes it awkward to work”

a1-cbiss supply the new innovative AVIVA half face mask from leading brand manufacturer, Scott Safety. The AVIVA counteracts the excuses that people make for not wearing a protective face mask. 

• Double seal - absorbs facial movements, maintaining face seal 
• Goggle pinch – aligns with safety goggles 
• Enhanced voice panel - be heard by your colleagues
• Downward facing exhale valve - avoids misting to eyewear
• Comfortable, durable head cradle - suitable for use underneath headwear.

Size Matters

Depending on the shape and size of your face, you may require a different mask. One size does not fit all. The new Scott Safety AVIVA half mask respirator has been designed in three sizes – small, medium and large. 

Masks require a tight fit to your face. With these types, it is essential that you are fit tested as part of the selection process to ensure that the mask forms a good seal to your face. Talk to a1-cbiss about providing guidance on the importance of fit testing for tight-fitting masks and practical tips on how to carry out a fit check.

Filters

The AVIVA half mask is available for use with a wide range of filters that protect against a wide range of hazards including dusts, mists, gases, vapours, bacteria and viruses in a variety of industrial situations such as asbestos removal, manufacturing, welding and pharmaceuticals.

• AVIVA2: Pro2 Flex*/Pro2 filters
