Awide range of PPE will be showcased by 3M at Health & Safety - North.Visitors will be among the first to see the new 3M Aura 9300+ disposable respirators, which are an evolution of 3M 9300 series respirators incorporating a technically-advanced filter material and several new design features. They are suitable for most industries where workers require protection against particulate hazards. 3M will be distributing a limited number of product samples at the event.

Alan McArthur of the 3M Safety Solutions Division will be delivering two seminars on 'Occupational Asthmagens in the Spotlight' at 14.30pm on 5th October and at 10.20am on 6th October.

He explains: "Occupational asthmagens are a potential hazard in many working environments and can cause occupational asthma.

Unlike pre-existing asthma, occupational asthma can often be cured if detected early* and it is therefore crucial to recognise what the risk factors are and how they can be safeguarded against." The seminars will provide information on the different occupational asthmagens in the workplace and offer guidance on suitable RPE.
