A PAPR is a respirator that uses a battery-powered blower to pull air through filters, providing purified air to the user. It creates positive pressure inside the facepiece or hood, helping prevent contaminants from entering the breathing zone.
Unlike negative pressure respirators that rely on user inhalation to draw air through filters, PAPRs use a motorized blower to supply filtered air, reducing breathing effort and providing continuous airflow for better comfort and protection.
Benefits include enhanced respiratory protection, reduced breathing resistance, increased comfort over long periods, and compliance with Australian Standards (AS/NZS 1716).
No, the Australian Standard AS/NZS1715:2009 clearly states that bearded individuals cannot achieve an adequate seal with tight-fitting respirators. You must be clean-shaven in the areas where the respirator makes contact with the face to ensure effective protection.
Workers with beards, mustaches, or stubble can use loose-fitting Powered Air Purifying Respirators (PAPRs). These systems supply clean air under positive pressure into a hood or helmet, eliminating the need for a tight facial seal.
Brands available include 3M, Sundström, JSP, STS Shigematsu, and Maxisafe, all known for high-quality respiratory protection equipment.
When choosing a PAPR kit, consider the type of airborne contaminants, work duration, required comfort level, compatibility with other PPE, and ensure compliance with safety standards. Our team can assist you with selection advice.
