Video and poster focus on mask care

15 June 2020

With masks in short supply for industrial use, JSP offers guidance on how to prolong the life of its reusable Force 8 Half-mask and PressToCheck Filters.

Maintaining your PPE is important and you can prolong the lifespan of your products by following manufacturers cleaning instructions. This not only increases hygiene levels, it reduces costs and is more sustainable.

JSP has produced a video and poster to raise awareness for industrial workforces and to help improve product lifespan: Cleaning the Force 8 Half-Mask with PressToCheck Filters – ✔Use It ✔Clean It ✔Use it Again!

To maintain the Force 8 with PressToCheck, follow the steps outlined below and in the video.

1. Disassemble: First remove the filters attached to the Force 8 Half-Mask. If these are blocked then discard and use a fresh pair following cleaning. The next step is to remove the exhalation cover allowing you to remove the mask’s harness and diaphragm.

2. Clean: Now you have disassembled the mask you can wash the main body, exhalation valve and diaphragm using soapy water. Once you are confident that all of these parts are clean, dry them off using a lint-free cloth.

3. Reassemble: Now all of the components have been cleaned you can reassemble the mask. Start by reinserting the diaphragm, thread through the front of the mask and pull the diaphragm through until it is in place. Then place the harness over the front of the mask (make sure it is the correct way up), and finally lock it into place with the valve cover. Place the valve cover onto the front of the mask and twist to lock. Re-insert your filters or attached a new set if required.
