Hi,

Please can you direct me to guidance on the maxiumum duration people should wear a face mask during the working day?

As we all know face masks are in very high demand.

Thanks

As with any piece of work equipment the manufacturer/supplier printed instruction is generally invaluable as they have designed it for a specific use against a particular standard or set of standards.

What it won't say is that it is OK to abuse the suggested use hours just because there is a shortage in supply.

I am just wondering how many people having been issued with disposable face mask will now instead of disposing of it, stick in the pocket and wear it again next day.

When I do face fit testing I come across these people who just don’t get it. They turn and take out this grubby mask which they have touched  on the inside with their contaminated  fingers.
