Respiratory protection

JSP says facial hair can have a significant adverse effect on the seal of a respirator, allowing tiny particles of hazardous dust into the mask. The company's Jetstream Switch & Go powered air respirator uses positive pressure to create an air cushion round the base, forming a barrier between the air inside and outside the mask, so creating a positive air seal around the face and eliminating the need for face-fit testing.

Belt-mounted, the lightweight, compact and comfortable unit supplies up to 8h of filtered air before recharging is necessary. Fully approved to EN12941, it can be used with and without head protection, with a variety of interchangeable headpieces, for welding, general industrial applications such as grinding, and in construction. 

Matthew Judson, JSP's Director of Respiratory Protection, said: "JSP’s Jetstream Switch & Go unit is an easy, affordable and cost-effective way of protecting the worker from toxic dust and particulates. 

"The ready-to-use system comes as a full kit, including a high-capacity disposable dust filter, lightweight headtop and extremely flexible reinforced hose, so it is not necessary to buy a lot of different parts. Everything you need is provided in one complete pack, housed in a protective, hygienic transportable tub to ensure correct, safe and clean storage of all the components. Simply don the unit, switch it on and off you go.”
