For more information about 3M Safety products or solutions please contact us:One of the biggest contributors to reduced respiratory protection is poor fit. Disposable respirators are most effective when there is a good seal between the edges of the respirator and your face. The instant this seal is broken, protection is compromised as contaminated air can leak in through any gaps. The use of a disposable respirator should be implemented as part of a comprehensive respiratory protection program. As described in AS/NZS 1715:2009 that fit testing is mandatory for all users of tight fitting facepieces – workers who use these should be trained in correct use and maintenance, fit tested and clean shaven. To ensure effective fit of disposable respirators, 3M has Qualitative Fit Test Kits.

Example of a total product usage report

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Integration Radio Frequency Integration is critical to successful machine placements. The ability to interact with a customer’s existing site access system removes the requirement for an extra database to be created and maintained. Upon the customer’s request, 3M has been able to decode many different access systems.

If your site does not have a current access system, 3M can provide tags or swipe cards to control access and identify users.
