RR1087 makes interesting reading - half the sampled FFP3 "dust mask" evaluated by the HSE had faults with two examples offering no protection in the workplace
http://www.hse.gov.uk/research/rrhtm/rr1087.htm
Unfortunately the report fails to name any of the manufacturers or brands to aid informed choice by purchasers/specifiers nor does it mention if the results were shared with the relevant suppliers to improve the supply to market or if faulty batches were subject to subsequent recall
Given the wide reliance on this type of RPE should the HSE "name and shame"?
LA's seem to have no issues - think discount retailer Hi-Vis that wasn't.
