Don’t Skimp on Respiratory PPE: Your Health Depends on It.

Here’s the thing—when you're on the job, respiratory protection isn’t optional. Most people think they’re covered by simply following the SDS (Safety Data Sheet), which gives you PPE recommendations based on “normal use.” But what does “normal use” even mean? Usually, it’s a trigger sprayer, right? But what happens when you’re using a forced-air sprayer or applying the product in a totally different way?

That’s where the real danger comes in. Changing your application method means you might be facing a whole new set of risks. And the respiratory protection you need can be completely different. You can’t assume the PPE that works for one method will work for all.

Bottom line: before you start spraying, you need to understand exactly what kind of respiratory protection the job requires. Not sure? Don’t guess. If your application method changes, so do the rules.
