Focus is on importance of respiratory protection in the workplace
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has designated today as “N95 Day” – a reference to the most common particulate filtering facepiece respirator, which filters at least 95% of airborne particles (but is not resistant to oil).
This observance is meant to bring recognition to the importance of respiratory protection in the workplace and familiarize users with the educational resources available, according to NIOSH.
