Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

The SR 500 can operate for up to 8 – 13 hours on a single charge.

No, N95 and FFP2 respirators are designed for single-use. After being exposed to hazardous particles or if the mask becomes damaged or difficult to breathe through, it should be discarded.

Yes, Safetyware respirators comply with NIOSH, EN 149, and SIRIM-DOSH standards, ensuring protection against airborne hazards like dust, fumes, and harmful chemicals.

Some respirators, like half-face and full-face models, are reusable with replaceable filters, while others, like N95 masks, are designed for single-use.

Yes, the material and pigment of the mask body are FDA-approved for foods, minimizing the risk of contact allergies.

Yes, the SR 900 half face mask is available in three sizes: Small (S), Medium (M), and Large (L).

Yes, SCBA is essential for confined space entry where hazardous gases or oxygen deficiency pose a risk to workers’ safety.

No, the escape hood is intended solely for escape purposes. It should not be used as equipment for carrying out specific tasks

The escape hood should only be used in environments where there is a sufficient oxygen content in the surrounding air.

Yes, the mask can be used as breathing apparatus with a continuous air flow together with the SR 307 compressed air attachment.

Yes, the mask can be used as a filtering device in combination with filters from the Sundström range of filters.

No, N95 and FFP2 respirators are designed to filter airborne particles but do not protect against gases, vapors, or chemical exposure. For chemical protection, a full-face respirator with appropriate filters is recommended.

Yes, Safetyware offers a variety of replaceable filters for reusable respirators, including particulate filters, gas/vapor filters, and combination filters, to ensure protection against specific hazards.

Yes, Safetyware provides fit testing services and training on the correct use, maintenance, and storage of respirators to ensure worker safety and compliance with safety regulations.

Yes, Safetyware offers comprehensive training on the correct use, maintenance, and inspection of SCBA units to ensure users are fully prepared for emergency situations.

Yes, the SR 500 is equipped with automatic air flow control with compensation for air pressure and temperature.

The SR 99-1 unit can be placed on the floor or mounted on a wall.

The right respirator depends on the type of airborne hazards in your environment. For particles like dust and pollen, an N95 /FFP2 respirator may suffice, but for chemical vapors, a half-face or full-face respirator with specific filters is recommended.

After use, the SCBA mask and components should be cleaned with mild soap and water, and the unit should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.

A proper fit is essential for effective protection. The respirator should form a tight seal around your nose and mouth with no gaps. Safetyware offers fit testing services to ensure a secure fit for maximum protection.

In a clean and dry area at room temperature in a tightly sealed container for example a plastic bag.

The escape hood is designed for quick and simple donning. Just remove it from its packaging, place it over your head, and ensure the neck seal is secure. No further adjustments are necessary.

Both N95 and FFP2 respirators use multi-layer filtration technology to trap harmful particles, including dust, pollen, bacteria, and some viruses, reducing the risk of inhalation.

The exhalation valve covers have baffles that effectively protect the valves and membranes against dust and paint mist.

The valve covers with partitions effectively protect the exhalation membrane against dust and paint mist.

The SR 500 uses the same control for starting, stopping, and selecting the operating status. It features a display with symbols for easy operation.

The escape hood can be stored for up to 10 years in its vacuum pre-packaged aluminum bag.

The Standard battery takes approximately 1.5 hours to charge.

The Heavy Duty battery takes about 2 hours to charge.

The SR 77-3 hood provides up to 30 minutes of protection against carbon monoxide.

The mask is equipped with two exhalation valves, ensuring very low exhalation resistance.

The mask is equipped with three inhalation valves and two exhalation valves, ensuring very low breathing resistance.

The replacement schedule for respirator filters depends on usage, exposure levels, and the type of filter. Disposable masks should be discarded after use, while reusable respirator filters should be replaced when breathing resistance increases or after a certain number of hours of use, as recommended by the manufacturer.

Reusable respirators should be cleaned with mild soap and water after each use, and stored in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight or chemicals. Follow the manufacturer’s cleaning instructions for proper maintenance.

Store N95 and FFP2 respirators in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and chemicals. They should remain in their original packaging until ready for use to maintain their effectiveness.

The SR 500 can be used as an alternative to filter respirators in all recommended situations, particularly for tasks that are hard, warm, or of long duration.

No, N95 and FFP2 respirators are designed for single-use. After being exposed to hazardous particles or if the mask becomes damaged or difficult to breathe through, it should be discarded.
