Air Purifying Respirators: Half Face and Full Face Masks
Air purifying respirators use replaceable filters or cartridges to reduce exposure to selected airborne contaminants where oxygen is sufficient. Safetyware supplies half face and full face APR masks for chemical handling, spray work, maintenance, painting, cleaning and industrial respiratory protection programmes.
Selection Guide

| Reusable system | Repeated tasks with changing filters | Plan cleaning, storage and cartridge changeout |
Standards and Procurement Notes
Malaysia buyers should check DOSH/SIRIM approval requirements where respiratory protection is used against chemical hazards. Singapore worksites should align selection, medical fitness, fit testing, training and maintenance with WSH risk assessment and SS 548 guidance.
