We offer our employees PP3 half-face masks & powered PPR face-masks with helmet.

Both these will be to minimise dust & bacteria exposure from houshold waste.

My query is, how long (many hours) do the filters last?

How frequently should we replace them?

The waste has not arrived on site yet, so we cannot conduct a quantiative assessment.

Supplier information either in the instruction manual or their FAQ's.

Ours would only be a guess even if you had mentioned the brand & model

Evans - the sort of question that members of the "WISH" forum may have considered. Suggest you look at the pages on waste on the HSE website.
