Fitting and Removing your Disposable Dust Mask & Respirators

First you should check the expiry date on the box and read the instructions provided. Facial hair can prevent a good seal between the respirator and face, so make sure you're clean shaven before fitting your disposable respirator. Remove all jewelry and make sure long hair is tied back.

Ensure your hands are clean before handling, check the respirator is in good condition. Form a cup shape by splitting the bottom and top panels of the respirator, using the tab make sure the reverse side is up. Make sure both panels are fully unfolded and slightly bend the nose clip at the center. Take both the straps in one hand and cup the respirator with the other, place the respirsator under your chin with the nose piece upwards facing. Making sure the straps are not twisted, pull the upper strap over the crown of your head and the lower straps just below your ears. Ensure that the tabs and panels are not folded in by adjusting for a comfortable fit. Now you can mold the nose clip to ensure a good seal with a close fit.

To test the effectiveness of the respirator, cover the front with both hands to check for leaked air. Readjust the respirator to eliminate leaks and repeat the fit check. Do not enter hazardous areas without achieving an adequate seal between the respirator and your face.

Avoid touching the face piece when removing your respirator. With both hands remove the straps from your head, and pull the respirator away from your face. Carefully dispose of your contaminated respirators.
