Our 2020 Activities
Respirator Fit Tester Virtual Conference
Conducting Fit Testing and Leak Tightness Testing on Masks Whose Importance Has Grown Significantly with the Coronavirus Pandemic
The PortaCount® Respirator Fit Tester - Model 8040 & 8048
WHY SHOULD WE TEST MASKS?
In recent days, masks have become an item of critical importance for all humanity, particularly in the global battle against Corona. Today, even when leaving home to go shopping, we step outside wearing a mask.
So how well do these masks protect us and others?
What is the permeability status of masks whose use is mandatory across most areas, especially in industrial facilities?
How well protected are public healthcare workers and security personnel, who are of critical importance to us all?
You will find the answers to all these questions and many more in this WEBINAR organised for you free of charge in conjunction with our partner TSI.
