Respirators & Dust Masks

Learn more about respirators and dust masks

Selecting the right respiratory protective equipment (RPE) is essential for site compliance and helps prevent potential health issues. Disposable dust masks offer convenient, single-shift protection against nuisance particulates, whereas reusable half-mask and full-face respirators feature replaceable filter cartridges designed to catch organic vapors, fine fumes, and toxic dusts. Choosing correctly fitted RPE with exhalation valves maintains worker comfort by reducing heat and moisture buildup inside the mask.

Use product specifications to check fit, protection level and application suitability before you buy.

Typical uses

• Dust masks for construction work and general site dust.

• FFP2 dust mask options for many common trade tasks.

• FFP3 dust mask options where you want a higher specification choice.

• Disposable respirators for short term work.

• Reusable respirator options for regular use.

How to choose the right respirator or dust mask

A dust mask and a respirator both cover your nose and mouth, but the right choice depends on the work in front of you.

• For general dust, a lighter dust mask may be enough.

• For more frequent use or a closer seal, compare respirator mask and half face respirator options.

• Check the product specifications to match the mask to the dust source, the duration of use and the fit.

Before you order

• Make sure the mask sits properly against your face.

• Check it works with other PPE you wear on site.

• Follow the product guidance for replacement or cleaning.

• Dispose of them in the correct way when a disposable mask has been used.

• If you need repeat orders, use a trade account to keep buying simple.
