Safety Information Message – SIM2205

HSE has published Safety Bulletin (EPD1-2022) on respirators/masks which rely on ear loops including those provided with clips, ‘snuggers’ or other means of tightening the fit of the mask to hold the respirator/mask in place. Action is required to ensure that Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) provision is adequate, suitable for the user and the activity to be undertaken.
