Respiratory Protection
Obstructions to proper breathing and a plethora of air pollutants are the cause for thousands of deaths at workplaces each year. Being conservative with the number, in excess of 12,000 deaths occur each year due to occupational respiratory diseases. Two thirds of which are caused due to prolonged exposure to the agents that cause these deadly diseases over a period of time. The problem is even more profound with smokers who have an elevated risk of lung cancer.
Air may be contaminated with dust, smoke, fumes, fog, mists, harmful gases, vapors and many other hazardous airborne agents. Maintenance crews and workers who work in damp environments (water damage, plumbing, fire inspectors, agricultural workers, landscapers, etc) are exposed to molds that release spores that stay airborne for extended periods of time and cause a host of lung diseases. Construction workers are frequently exposed to silica (micro-sized silicon dioxide particles) that gets lodged inside their lungs and causes ‘silicosis’ which is incurable and may result in death. Another hazard that is abundantly present is asbestos. Asbestos are fibers that are inhaled and lodged in to the lower region of the lungs where they collect and eventually cause inflammation of the lungs which leads to breathlessness and death. Common areas where asbestos are released from include wallboard, cement, textured paints, pipes and air ducts.
Mechanical and electrical workers are not the only ones at risk from respiratory diseases. Healthcare workers are subject to potential diseases from infected patients. Dentists as well are exposed to diseases from wound sites.
Adventure sports enthusiasts also inhale an excessive amount of dust, smoke and fumes. Even a momentary loss of coordination or a compromised mental stability can lead to potentially disastrous accidents.
Recognizing these hazards we at Al Bahri Hardware & Safety Equipment LLC have scoured the globe to put together a comprehensive selection of respiratory protection products that provide maximum protection without any compromise on comfort or movement.
Our range of respiratory products benefit from the following.
- Unrivaled protection from particles, fibers and crystals inhaled at construction sites.
